Three exciting days in Rennes have come to an end and our trade fair team was able to make many valuable contacts: CFIA 2025 was a complete success for us!

From 4 to 6 March, the CFIA took place at the Parc Expo in Rennes, France - one of the most important trade fairs of the year for the agricultural and food industry. Over 2,000 players from the entire sector were on site and presented themselves to visitors on the 50,000 square metres of exhibition space. Compared to previous years, the trade fair has grown once again, so there was plenty of new things to discover.

Successful start to the trade fair year

Our team, consisting of Manuella Buratto-Harnack, Patrice Wicker and Gwendal Leblay, held numerous promising appointments. In addition, various personal visits were planned after the trade fair, so we can be completely satisfied with the start of the 2025 trade fair year. Gwendal Leblay, sales partner for the east of France, draws a positive balance: "For me personally, it was the first trade fair presence with Märtens and it was a complete success. I'm already looking forward to the next personal visits to customers on site to discuss further solutions together."

Manuella Buratto-Harnack, Internal Sales Representative at Märtens, can only agree: "I have only had contact with many customers by phone or email so far. Getting to know them personally on this occasion and talking to them face-to-face was a very exciting experience."

Among other things, visitors to our stand were able to see our variably adjustable expanding conveyor systems in action. This is used, for example, in pick & place applications and wherever products need to be separated or brought together. Of course, all our other products were also on display for live inspection.
