The 30th edition of Vietfood & Beverage – Propack Vietnam 2026 drew to a successful close on August 8 at the Saigon Exhibition and Convention Center (SECC) in Ho Chi Minh City. As one of the longest‑standing and most influential trade fairs for food processing and packaging in Southeast Asia, this year’s event covered over 25,000 square metres of exhibition space and brought together more than 1,000 exhibitors from over 20 countries and regions, including China, India, Japan, Korea, Thailand, and Vietnam, with total professional attendance estimated to exceed 35,000 visitors. Making a powerful impression at the show, SIKUN unveiled its full range of innovative packaging products and integrated solutions. Through its technological excellence, robust product quality, and professional on‑site service, the company shone brightly throughout the three‑day exhibition and achieved success that far exceeded expectations.
A Thriving Show Floor with Overwhelming Visitor Interest
Throughout the event, SIKUN’s booth—strategically located along the main aisle—drew a steady stream of visitors, attracting a large number of food producers, brand owners, trade buyers, and industry media from Vietnam and neighbouring ASEAN countries. The booth design, featuring a clean blue‑and‑white colour scheme, effectively communicated the brand’s core values of “safety, sustainability, and efficiency.” Through a combination of physical product displays, live demonstrations, and interactive presentations, the company showcased its comprehensive capabilities in metal packaging. A dedicated technical team was on hand throughout the exhibition to provide detailed explanations of product features, application scenarios, and customisation processes. Their professionalism and enthusiasm were widely praised by visiting guests.
According to preliminary statistics, over the three show days, the SIKUN booth received more than 300 professional visitors and established in‑depth connections with nearly 50 potential clients. Among these, over 20 companies expressed clear interest in cooperation and entered into specific requirement‑discussion stages, with the number of preliminary cooperation intentions nearly doubling compared with the previous exhibition. This outstanding performance strongly confirms that SIKUN’s brand recognition in Southeast Asia is rapidly increasing.
Core Product Portfolio Showcased, Technological Strengths Build Trust
At the exhibition, SIKUN highlighted its core product lines—encompassing food‑grade metal packaging cans, high‑seal screw caps, lightweight aluminium lids, and innovative easy‑open lids. Every product leverages internationally advanced lamination technology and precision stamping processes, ensuring superior sealing performance, corrosion resistance, and food safety even under demanding storage and transport conditions.
Particularly noteworthy was SIKUN’s newly launched eco‑friendly easy‑open lid series, which drew strong interest from many buyers due to its zero‑residue peel‑off design and 100% recyclable aluminium substrate. This product not only significantly improves the end‑user opening experience but also reduces material consumption, helping food companies lower their carbon footprint—aligning perfectly with the global packaging industry’s shift towards greener, low‑carbon solutions. Several technical directors from leading Vietnamese food enterprises commented after product demonstrations that SIKUN’s packaging solutions match international standards in terms of shelf‑life performance and customisation flexibility, effectively serving as a cost‑competitive alternative to certain imported premium products.
In addition, the company’s multi‑colour printing technology for metal cans, which enables high‑precision, high‑saturation brand graphics, offers food brands a distinct visual advantage on retail shelves—a feature that also earned high praise from numerous marketing and brand managers in attendance.
Seizing Vietnam’s Growth Momentum and Deepening Regional Presence
Vietnam’s food and beverage industry has maintained robust growth momentum in recent years. According to the latest data from Vietnam’s Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, the country’s total agro‑forestry‑fishery exports for the first half of 2026 approached USD 36 billion, representing a year‑on‑year increase of approximately 6%, with processed food and beverage products showing particularly strong growth. As domestic consumption upgrades and export standards rise, local food producers are placing ever‑higher demands on packaging quality, safety, and environmental attributes. This creates unprecedented opportunities for professional packaging suppliers like SIKUN, which possess strong R&D capabilities and reliable delivery performance.
Propack Vietnam, as a key bridge connecting global packaging technology suppliers with Southeast Asian buyers, has always been a strategic platform for SIKUN to expand its footprint in the ASEAN market. This participation not only gave the company deeper insights into specific pain points in Vietnam and neighbouring countries but also further strengthened its trust relationships with existing partners. During the show, food traders from Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, and other countries also proactively visited the SIKUN booth, expressing keen interest in jointly exploring their domestic markets—a clear sign that SIKUN’s brand influence is spreading from Vietnam across the entire ASEAN region.
Customer Endorsements and Industry Recognition
On the show floor, representatives from several well‑known Vietnamese food companies provided candid and positive feedback on SIKUN’s products and services. A procurement director from a Vietnamese canning company with over 20 years of industry experience commented: “We have been working with SIKUN for two years, and their supply stability and product consistency have never let us down. The new easy‑open lid showcased here will be our first choice for our next packaging upgrade.” Another importer of baking ingredients from Malaysia noted that SIKUN was able to quickly adjust mould designs to meet his specific size requirements, with a responsiveness and level of cooperation far exceeding that of his previous supplier—giving him great confidence in a long‑term partnership.
These voices from front‑line customers not only validate SIKUN’s customer‑centric philosophy but also helped the company earn trust from more potential clients during the exhibition. On the third day of the show, SIKUN signed framework cooperation agreements with three Vietnamese food companies on‑site, committing to provide customised metal packaging cans and matching sealing solutions over the coming year, with the total contract value estimated to exceed RMB 5 million.
Looking Ahead: Deepening Engagement in ASEAN for Mutual Growth
This successful showcase at Propack Vietnam 2026 represents a concrete milestone in SIKUN’s internationalisation strategy. Through this exhibition, the company not only garnered a substantial number of high‑quality business enquiries and tangible orders but also systematically demonstrated its technological prowess and brand image, laying a solid foundation for further market expansion in Southeast Asia.
A senior executive of SIKUN remarked in the post‑show review: “Vietnam and the broader ASEAN region are among the most important growth poles in our global footprint. Going forward, we will continue to increase our investment in the region, with plans to initiate the establishment of a local after‑sales service centre in Vietnam within this year, and to actively participate in more regional food and packaging trade fairs. Our goal is to get closer to our customers and respond more quickly to market needs. At the same time, we remain committed to R&D innovation, and will keep rolling out packaging solutions that combine superior performance with environmental responsibility, working hand in hand with global partners to drive the high‑quality and sustainable development of Southeast Asia’s food packaging industry.”
