Testimonial from a top buyer at SIAL Paris 2024
"SIAL Paris is the perfect trade show for meeting new suppliers, finding inspiration, and brainstorming with existing suppliers. What’s more, SIAL Paris is organised by business sector, which is very practical: other trade shows are organised by country, which complicates things because you have to run from one side to the other."
