Trade Shows 2023

This year started off with Biofach/ Vivaness in February. This is the biggest exhibition for organic in the world. It was our 20th consecutive participation. There we meet our regular clients mainly from Europe.

Next on the list was In- Cosmetics during March in sunny Barcelona. This is the leading cosmetic trade show for personal care ingredients. We met with some of the biggest companies in the F&F and Cosmetics industries.

SIMPPAR, which is a professional exhibition dedicated to raw materials and services for the perfume industry, is usually at the peak of rose harvest and is always a good opportunity to meet with the industry leaders and talk about the new harvest, the obstacles and achievements related to it.

As Board member of our Bulgarian National Association for Essential oils, Perfumery and Cosmetics, we were delighted to host IFRA’s Europe Spring meetings and event “Nurturing cultural heritage and shaping change through innovation”. The policy conference in Kazanluk, Bulgaria, was on the sustainability and competitiveness of the essential oils sector, based on the new EU policies and regulations, with our CEO, Filip Lissicharov, vigorously defending Bulgaria’s national symbol- Queen Rose.

Following this was IFEAT - the world's largest conference in our industry with record- breaking over 1600 attendees of the current venue. This year's theme of the conference was "TRADE. TRADITION. MODERN SPIRIT". Filip Lissicharov presented Enio Bonchev's profile and participated on the “Roundpanelshop”: Sustainable Sourcing and Beyond- Initiatives in the Global Flavour and Fragrance Industry”.

On the subject of sustainability, this year for the first time in our company's history we were at UEBT's conference where Filip Lissicharov presented our passionate work on Sustainability as part of the panel “Local voices on biodiversity: a discussion among leaders at the source”.

We are already preparing for next year's Biofach and hope to see many of you there!
