SupplySide West sees big growth from food, cosmetic, and international companies
10/27/2008 13:29

Although SupplySide West just concluded, it is apparent that innovation in dietary supplement, foods, beverages and cosmetics is still going strong. I had many personal conversations with both attendees and exhibitors, and from that I can say that the show was a success. I had one R&D person from a leading cosmetic company tell me that he found so many interesting ingredients and ideas that he had to ship the materials back separately. He couldn't fit it all in his luggage. And a top executive from one of the world's largest restaurant chains told  me that he found a long list of ingredients and suppliers that he intends to work with. We also saw a jump in participants from outside the U.S. There were official delegations from both India and China, and visitors from dozens of other countries. On behalf of all of us at Virgo Publishing, please accept our sincere thanks for your participation and support. And please let us know what we can do to help you.
