Hot June, Vibrant Shanghai! Double Exhibition Success for Foodchem and Foodmate

The three-day industry extravaganza—the 26th Health & Natural Ingredients, Food Ingredients China Exhibition (Hi&Fi Asia-China 2025) and the 23rd World Pharmaceutical Raw Materials China Exhibition (CPHI & PMEC China 2025)—concluded successfully in Shanghai on June 26. Foodchem and Foodmate stood out at two major exhibition spaces—National Exhibition and Convention Center (Booth 41D35) and Shanghai New International Expo Center (Booth W4C72)—showcasing core products and innovative solutions. The event provided an excellent platform to connect with global partners and achieve fruitful results.

Foodmate Gelatin Steals the Spotlight

Over the three-day exhibition, the gelatin display areas at both booths were among the most popular attractions. Visitors—including end-brand manufacturers, large-scale traders, and pharmaceutical company representatives—came with a clear goal: to source high-quality, stable gelatin solutions.

At Hi&Fi Asia-China 2025, whether customers sought crystal-clear functional gummies or precise softgel sealing solutions, Foodmate offered comprehensive gelatin options. The FoodGel™ (edible gelatin) and CapGel™ (pharmaceutical gelatin) series, sourced from premium bovine hide, bone, and fish, provide a Bloom strength range of 120–300, ensuring excellent texture and performance.

To demonstrate quality firsthand, Foodmate provided ample product samples. After in-depth discussions, many clients took samples for further testing, leaving the sample counter nearly empty!

Exhibition Highlights: Where Popularity Meets Expertise

Global Engagement

The two booths attracted over 600 professional visitors from China, Europe, the U.S., Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and beyond. New and existing clients engaged in productive discussions with the sales team on product features, technical parameters, and market trends.

New Product Launches

• Instant Gelatin (Upgraded Version): Addressing market demand for efficiency, Foodmate showcased its 5-second dissolution in room-temperature water in a live demo, drawing strong interest from jelly and ready-to-eat dessert manufacturers.

• Creatine Gummies (First Public Debut): Overcoming solubility and flavor challenges, these high-content creatine gummies impressed sports nutrition and functional candy clients, sparking immediate customization inquiries.

Interactive Engagement

Technical experts provided one-on-one application support, while the beloved Leopard Brothers mascot returned as the booth ambassador. Branded giveaways were a hit, running out quickly due to high demand.

A Moment of Honor: Hi Ingredients Award

At the Hi&Fi Awards dinner, Foodmate was honored with the Food Ingredients Excellence Award (Hi Ingredients Awards), recognizing its R&D efforts and industry contributions. This accolade further motivates the team to innovate and excel.

Gratitude and Future Collaborations

Though the event was brief, the connections and opportunities were invaluable. Foodchem and Foodmate extend sincere thanks to all clients, partners, and industry friends who visited the booths. Your trust and support drive our progress. Special appreciation goes to the exhibition team for their dedication. We look forward to transforming these connections into lasting collaborations, advancing the food, health, and pharmaceutical industries.
