2018 ExpoAgroAlimentaria to kick off next week

Yet again the time has come for growers and suppliers from around the world to join together in agricultural exploration at the Expo Agroalimentaria show in Irapuato, Mexico, November 13th to 16th. During this 22nd edition of the Expo, with 1,300 exhibitor spaces and a total surface of more than 63 thousand square meters, an amount of 120,000 visitors is expected. The Expo is divided in an indoor and an outdoor area. With the horticultural industry in Mexico still being on the rise and growers on the lookout for more technology, of course the HortiDaily team will be there at well. What else is not to be missed?

 

Excalibur Plastics Mex
Excalibur Plastics Mex has been attending the show for the 10+ years and it grows more exciting each year. With their core products: plastic, coco, shading agents, insect/shade screens, curtains and groundcover, they are also exploring the opportunity to assist in supplying additional items such as fertilizer, gutter systems, fogging mechanisms, and supplementary greenhouse essentials. Come out and visit booth #600 to see what Excalibur and their vendors have to offer.

30 year anniversary
On November 8th, 1988, in the midst of industrial restructuring in Spain, eight former workers of Laminaciones de Lesaca (Imcasa), subsidiary of Altos Hornos de Vizcaya, founded Inverca. Three of these eight founders still remain in the shareholding of the company and since the end of 2016 the second generation has taken the reins.

In these thirty years, Inverca has reached the five continents and continues to pioneer new frontiers day by day.

During these 30 years, Inverca has manufactured and supplied more than 2,000 hectares of greenhouses for all types of climates and crops.

If you want to congratulate Inverca, pay them a visit at the Expo Agroalimentaria in stands 902, 927.
