From Our Exhibitors
“Sirha Lyon is one of the greatest shows for chefs and we got the best out of it. It’s a great family and a great ambiance at Worldchefs Village. There was a wide range of visitors – at our booth we had professionals, chefs, schools, restaurant owners and chain owners. It has been our first Worldchefs Village experience and we loved it. The types of contacts we had… it was unbelievable.”
Francesca La Chiusa, Europe Sales Director at Alto-Shaam
“The five-day experience at Sirha Lyon was excellent. We got a lot of contacts, met a lot of customers, new customers, potential customers- it was a very good exchange with all people we met at the booth. It was a nice collaboration with all the staff of Worldchefs and good synergy for both. There were very different people and customers at Sirha. For us, it was a good opportunity to meet our distributors all over the world, and also some very famous chefs from different countries, but also the main focus was final customers from France – traiteurs, restaurants, chefs, hotels – very different types of customer channels.”
Frédéric Cherpin, Key Account Sales Manager Export at HUG Food Service
“I’m very happy to be here this year it’s my first time participating in the Worldchefs Village. I exchanged a lot about our product Tunisian Couscous Express Warda 4 minutes and I got to experience international products – Norway, Uzbekistan, French, Italian, Switzerland – it’s a great team at Worldchefs Village Sirha Lyon 2025.”
