“Vendex Midlands has a proven track record of attracting strong visitor numbers, and we’re confident this year will be no different. We’re looking forward to a great show and hope you can all be there to join us!”

Here is some of what visitors can expect on the day…

Coffetek (Stand 113-115)

With the coffee industry continuing to evolve, and businesses seeking premium quality and operational efficiency, Coffetek, is responding with its Vitro Series 3, a fully integrated coffee solution designed to transform coffee service.
