The four-day extravaganza, which will feature 200 participating brands and welcome over 8,000 attendees during the week, coincides perfectly with Malaysia’s move into Phase 4 of the National Recovery Plan and will provide the ideal platform for players from the industry to bounce back their business activities following the challenges faced during the pandemic.

Some of the top multinational and Malaysian brands showcasing their latest products, services and innovations at FHM 2022 include FrieslandCampina Professional, Pastry Pro, Bidfood Malaysia, Golden Pacific Victory, DKSH Malaysia, Unox (Asia) and Bestari Sales & Marketing.

The seminar programme lineup includes a ‘Wine Features’ series by Entwine Consultancy as well as a ‘Crafted@Culinaire’ series by AYS Wine & Sake Consultancy, both of which will provide valuable insights into key emerging trends within the regional wine, beer and premium alcoholic beverages industry.
