1 September 2014 RESTAURANT & BAR HONG KONG 2014 Eat. Drink. Trade. For the first time, food & beverage logistics had its own booth Restaurant & Bar Hong Kong is the leading fine dining and bar exhibition in Asia-Pacific. It took place in Hong Kong, from the 2 nd to the 4 th of September, and food & beverage logistics has been a successful exhibitor there. We had a chance to get in touch with many potential customers from top-quality food services and bar markets and show them our flexi-tank model, an efficient maritime transport of bulk liquids, that caught the attention of many wine producers and distributors. Finally, on the last two days, we celebrated inviting our clients to a German Happy Hour, with traditional pretzels and Astra beer from Hamburg.. The food & beverage logistics team would like to take this opportunity to thank Ms. Ciska van der Schalk for taking care of all the preparation needed to guarantee our outstanding participation at the fair!
