8h dedicated chauffeur

Five days for a buyer at a major UAE or South Korean premium retail chain to sign the annual contracts that will fill their stores' shelves for twelve months.

SIAL Paris is the world's largest food innovation exhibition. Buyers from premium chains in Asia (China, Japan, South Korea, Thailand, Vietnam), Middle East distributors (UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar — references for the region's palaces and hotel chains), US buyers (East Coast and West Coast premium grocers), Europe, Brazil, Mexico — they converge at Paris-Nord Villepinte every two years.

For this clientele who sometimes flies long-haul specifically for SIAL from Beijing or Doha, transportation must disappear in favour of the real work: multiplying food chain meetings, negotiating annual rates, finalizing major retail contracts.

Precellence has not yet operated SIAL Paris in-house. We prepare each exhibition in advance: access points, schedules and drop-off points. Before pick-up, you receive your chauffeur's name, number plate and direct phone number.
