Exhibition space for the Nordic natural and organic products industry’s first-ever dedicated trade show – Natural Products Scandinavia – is almost entirely sold out. Scheduled to be held on October 13 and 14, 2012, in Malmö, Sweden, the show is likely to include exhibitors from over 23 countries.
The show marks Nordic region’s continued strong growth in the sales of dietary supplements, remedies, natural beauty products, and organic produce and makes it an inviting proposition to this region’s natural, organic, Fairtrade and eco-friendly product buyers and retailers from the outset, according to Diversified UK, the organiser.
“Natural Products Scandinavia has very much been created by the Nordic natural products industry for the Nordic industry,” states event manager Zoe Jackson-Cooper. He adds, “We’ve been working very closely with key Nordic industry bodies and major retail chains such as Life, and have been delighted with the wide scale support the show is receiving. With two months to go, and new exhibitors coming on board each week, visiting buyers will see an unrivalled showcase of Europe’s best natural products together for the first time in one state-of-the-art Swedish venue.”
New Scandinavian additions to the event’s growing exhibitor list include health and wellness specialists, such as Sweden’s Immitec Nutrition AB, with its supplements for immune health, gut health and joint and muscle management; Dalblads Nutrition AB; wholesaler Lifeland Products AB; and the Swereco Group showcasing Orthosis – a new orthotics product range from Mabs.
