(Washington, DC) - With wedding chapels dotting most corners in Las Vegas, it might not be a coincidence that the United FreshTech and United Fresh Marketplace trade shows have formed their own bond this year to deliver a total supply chain event for the produce industry.

United FreshTech is the only produce industry event focused on fresh-cut processing, valued-added solutions, new technologies and technical innovations throughout the supply chain from farm to table. Exhibitors also include seed companies, HACCP service providers, packaging manufacturers and other companies offering equipment or technical products and services. The Food Safety and Research Pavilion will feature the latest in food safety research, products and services.

United Fresh Marketplace is the produce marketing and merchandising expo where you can meet with the entire produce and perishables management teams. Companies selling raw produce, display concepts, consumer packaging, salad ingredients and dressings, RFID technology and temperature records are just some of those who exhibit at United Fresh Marketplace. The NEW Organics Pavilion will feature raw produce and value-added organic products.

With the co-location of United FreshTech and United Fresh Marketplace, exhibitors in both expos will join together to offer the best of both worlds in Las Vegas!

This year United FreshTech and United Fresh Marketplace expos are co-located with the FMI show and Marketechnics®. All four expositions: United FreshTech, United Fresh Marketplace, The FMI Show and Marketechnics® will be held at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas, May 5-7, 2008.
