39th International Trade Show of Artisanal Ice Cream, Pastry, Bakery and the Coffee World.

The event confirms its undisputed international leadership as trade fair for professional operators all over the world in the artisan gelato, pastry and baking sectors, together with that of coffee.

An extraordinary showcase of everything new and trendy in the 4 supply chains. On show will be raw materials and ingredients through to plants and equipment, furnishings and services.

SIGEP was launched on the suggestion of Italian gelato maker members of artisan associations, who wanted an expo to support their activity. Its story is characterized by an increasing success that began with its inauguration, on January 17th 1980.

Today, more than ever, the secret of the very high calibre of the side events is their organization, which involves all-round proactive collaboration by the most important associations of the various sectors’ artisans.

The idea of staging a busy program of spectacular events alongside the expo area was a winner right from the start
