Moscow, February 25, 2025
SIGMA EXPO GROUP, one of Russian’s leading exhibition operators, is strengthening its presence in the food industry by acquiring a stake and becoming a strategic partner in the communication and exhibition projects of ITH. This partnership includes the industrial exhibition Coffee Tea Cacao Russian Expo, the consumer festival CHASHKA, and the industry publication Coffee and Tea in Russia.
By 2025, ITH’s exhibition projects have gained a prominent position on Russian’s exhibition map, largely due to the unique communication opportunities created for participants within each event. “First and foremost, we serve as a platform for fostering communication and establishing connections among all market participants, from farmers cultivating tea, coffee, or cocoa to consumers of the final products. With our team's deep roots in the industry, we possess a keen understanding of business needs, adjusting our work to meet the market’s interests and providing special attention to each exhibitor, speaker, and guest,” explains David Chanturia, CEO of ITH.
ITH projects are supported by the country’s leading industry organization, the RUSTEACOFFEE Association, as well as the Ministry of Agriculture of the Russian Federation, underscoring the crucial role of their initiatives.
SIGMA EXPO GROUP is intentionally broadening its focus on the food sector: since 2024, the company has been running a large-scale project in the HoReCa and Retail – the Food Expo Trade Fair. With the establishment of a representative office in Turkey, the company is setting ambitious goals to expand its exhibition activities on the international stage.
"In recent years, we have observed significant growth in the food sector in our country, and it is clear that the demand for professional communication within specific industries, as well as in general, has considerably increased. The interests and goals of both exhibitors and visitors are evolving, along with the requirements for the exhibitions content and the technologies designed to enhance participation efficiency in various events. Our company has extensive experience and a broad partner network that allows us to elevate exhibition projects to a new level, meeting current challenges. I believe that our support for projects in the field of hot beverages and chocolate will greatly enhance the existing potential," emphasizes Sergey Alexandrov, Managing Director of SIGMA EXPO GROUP.
Partners emphasize that their collaborative efforts will focus on the development and implementation of modern approaches to organizing food-related events, both for businesses and end consumers. The synergy arising from their combined efforts will enhance the capitalization of existing projects, creating strong momentum around the jointly executed current and future communication and exhibition events, both in Russia and in the international market.
