Business Growth

The whole food processing industry is experiencing reduced margins due to higher commodity prices, the consumer shift to lower-margin value products, higher administrative expenses, increased pressure to develop new products and maintain market position and the increasing cost of debt.

Well managed businesses can respond to these stresses and emerge from the current economic climate in a strong position, ready for future growth. And now there is an event that can give you the inside information about how to get through these difficult times and prepare for the future.

FoodTech Connect 09 is as much a food business forum as it is a conference. It does not concentrate on a single industry sector or on a specialised area within the manufacturing process, but rather on the key areas that contribute to business growth.

The event works on the principle that success in the food industry will be enjoyed by the companies that best align their intellectual and physical resources. These successful companies understand that specialists perform better when they have a current understanding of the various product / marketing / supply dynamics affecting other divisions within their organisation.

At FoodTech Connect 09 Peter Bush will set the tone for the conference as he provides his insight on managing McDonald’s Australia’s growth, product extension and the brand reach of the business now and into the future.

Delegates attending the event will be briefed on current innovations in key areas of successful product roll out including R&D, product development and branding while also being updated on best practices in food safety, sustainability and ethical sourcing.

When: October 21-22, 2009
Where: The Grand Pavilion, Rosehill Gardens Racecourse, Sydney
Presented by: Westwick- Farrow Media, publisher of What’s New in Food Technology & Manufacturing and www.foodprocessing.com.au
