The last event in Asia which held in 2014 was very successful and completely sold out. The shows attracted over 6000 industry executives from throughout South and South East Asia. Visitors came from a total of 63 countries, so a truly international event.

The exhibitions and conferences will take place from 29 to 31 March 2016, and will be held once again the BITEC in Bangkok, Thailand.

The Synergy of the three shows:

FIAAP Asia 2016 is the only specialist exhibition and conference for the ingredients, additives and formulation of feeds for animals, aquafeed and dry petfood for the expanding Asia/Pacific markets. This show directly relates with VICTAM Asia 2016 as this primarily profiles animal feed production equipment and technology.

Further about the show VICTAM Asia 2016 which is Asia/Pacific's largest exhibition of equipment, technology and ancillary systems required for the safe and effective production of feeds for animals, aquafeed and dry petfood and biomass pellet production. This show is co-located with GRAPAS Asia 2016 and FIAAP Asia 2016.

Lastly there is the GRAPAS Asia 2016 and it is the only trade show in the Asia/Pacific region for rice & flour milling systems, grain processing, storage, preservation & distribution, industrial noodle & pasta production, the manufacture of breakfast cereals and extruded snacks. Animal feeds require grains, etc. as a base for their production; that shows the synergy between the three shows and why GRAPAS Asia is co-located with VICTAM Asia.

There is also another area where the shows give added value to both the exhibitors and the visitors and that's in biomass pellet production. Biomass pellets are produced through similar technology used in the production of feed pellets, so the manufacturers of this technology have adapted it so that they can market their pellet mills to the growing biomass industries of Asia. If you are visitor from a biomass pelleting plant you will also need the same equipment used within the other mills silos, conveyors, bagging systems, etc.

There are a number of supporting conferences which include: the FIAAP Conference 2016,

Petfood Forum Asia 2016, the Aquafeed Horizons Asia 2016, GRAPAS & Global Milling Conference Asia 2016, the 2nd ASEAN Feed & Rice Symposium and GMP+. A series of technical seminars on wide ranging subjects.

Those of you who were at FIAAP/VICTAM/GRAPAS Asia 2014 event will recall that Victam International BV arranged for all the Presidents and Secretary Generals from all the ASEAN feed milling associations to attend a specially convened meeting. During this meeting it was decided to form the FEDERATION OF ASEAN FEED MILLING ASSOCIATIONS of which Mr Pornsil is the current chairman.  

In 2016 the members of the Federation will meet again for the 2nd ASEAN FEED SUMMIT at BITEC during FIAAP/VICTAM/GRAPAS Asia 2016.  Here these feed executives will discuss and help determine future policies and objectives, together with looking at the trading and financial implications of the impending ASEAN FREE TRADE ZONE.

Victam International is proud to have the support of the following organisations:

During the FIAAP/VICTAM/GRAPAS International 2015 in Cologne, Germany, Victam celebrated its 50th anniversary. Throughout the years the exhibitions and the series of conferences that accompany the shows have grown enormously. What is very pleasing is that there are still a good number of companies who exhibited in the first show and are still exhibiting today. The technology has changed, as have the faces, but it is gratifying to see these companies are still trading and expanding their marketing and sales horizons. Many of these companies will also exhibit in Bangkok.
