WHY MARCA

THE RETAILERS ARE NOT ONLY VISITING. THEY ARE EXHIBITING.

MARCA is the only private-label event in Italy where leading retailers are exhibitors. Producers and co-packers can present samples, compare formats and packaging, and discuss manufacturing capabilities directly with buyers and category managers. Each exhibitor develops its own commercial relationships and follow-up.
