“The first edition of SMAKKi is a confirmation that the HORECA industry is based primarily on building mutual relationships that result in business success – such was the SMAKKI event. The meeting in one place of Manufacturers, Restaurateurs and Companies working in the professional industry gives room for discussions about the future, the directions and needs of the HORECA sector”

“HoReCa sector is definitely unique in a way that it is very targeted and, I would even say, it has always been very much focused on personal relations and relationship building at industry events. At SMAKKi, we were counting on specific sales leads and this fair did its job. There were no busloads of young people there, but actual business customers with specific needs, a very mature approach and solid knowledge.”
Winterhalter
Director of Communications and Marketing
“Today’s HoReCa market needs to move away from patterns and enter new, often surprising and extremely effective solutions. The DPD Food service is exactly such a solution. We had many discussions during the fair, which will certainly translate into fruitful cooperation. I am glad that we were part of SMAKKi. I would also like to emphasize the friendly atmosphere and the organisers’ care for each exhibitor, which seems to be a signature of SMAKKi.”

“For us, it is not only about the final customer, i.e. the owner of the catering facility, who is important, but also about trade partners, who are an extension of our arm. They are the ones who spread the Komat brand on the Polish and international market, so presenting new products to them at the fair is very important to us. 90% of our most important customers came to SMAKKi to meet and learn about new products, which is not easy with the current pace of life.”
Komat
Marketing Department
“We turned our attention to SMAKKi because it is a new format in Poland and we strongly believe that it can become a leading event in the industry. Part of our business is based on providing the right water for the HoReCa industry: hotels, restaurants and cafés, and it is the task of our brand to provide products such as catering filters or dispensers to optimally filter water. This is precisely the range of products we presented extensively at the trade fair.”
BWT Polska
Marketing Director
“We tried to prepare our products in such a way that we could show their new unveilings and concepts, as well as their various usability in restaurants or at petrol stations. At SMAKKi, we achieved the objective of boosting our brand image, as we managed to invite many customers, including decision-makers, which is not always easy. This time they actually came and had time for us.”
