Showcasing the latest and the greatest in supermarket and food and beverage products, packaging, displays and fixtures, the 52nd Supermarket Trade Show 2018 (SMTS) will be held on Feb. 14, 15 and 16.
Looking to go global, as many as 2,000 manufacturers will introduce their products over 11 halls at the Makuhari Messe convention center in Chiba Prefecture.
More than 86,000 people, mainly buyers from retailers, visited the last edition of the SMTS. As it marks its 60th anniversary in 2018, the New Supermarket Association of Japan, which organizes the SMTS, is making a leap forward in globalizing the event.
