Where Innovation Meets Industry: AFEX and FIM Asia Return to WTC Manila with a Bigger, Bolder Vision for 2025



Manila, Philippines, April 7, 2025 – The Philippines’ premier platform for food innovation and industry advancement is making its much anticipated return. From September 3 to 6, 2025, the 31st Asia Food Expo (AFEX) and the 2nd FIM Asia will once again converge at the World Trade Center Manila, bringing together a dynamic cross-section of food processing, packaging, ingredients, and FMCG sectors from across the region.

This year’s dual showcase promises more than just scale—it’s about synergy. With over 400 booths represented by 21 countries in 2024 alone, AFEX and FIM Asia are setting the stage for an even stronger 2025 edition. These two powerhouse shows will merge critical segments of the food ecosystem—from automation in production to the artistry of ingredients—into one unified experience built for business, discovery, and connection.


A Platform for Real Business Impact, Not Just Buzz

At the core of AFEX and FIM Asia is actionable opportunity. In 2024, over 9,500 attendees, 85% of whom were decision makers, graced the halls. Visitors from companies like San Miguel Foods, Unilever, Universal Robina, and Nestlé explored cutting-edge machinery, sourced new ingredients, and met with partners driving the region’s F&B growth.


In 2025, both shows double down on that promise with smart tech integrations—like the enhanced AFEX Visitor App that enables business matchmaking, real-time chat, and meeting scheduling—plus category expansions that include everything from franchise systems and beverage technology to wastewater treatment solutions.


Staying Ahead of the Curve

As the food and beverage industry continues to shift, businesses are looking for smarter ways to innovate, connect, and grow. AFEX and FIM Asia bring together the right mix of technology, insight, and industry players—making it easier for manufacturers, food service professionals, and retailers to explore what’s new and take meaningful steps forward.


“AFEX and FIM Asia aren’t just trade shows—they’re catalysts,” said Alvin P. Paragas, President of AUTOPROPACK SYSTEMS CORP. “Our partnership with AFEX boosted our sales by 25%. More than foot traffic, it delivered the right connections. It’s a platform that transforms potential into performance.”
