Promoting Global Food Revolution, Japanese "Food Processing" Technology Takes Centre Stage on the World Platform
FOOMA JAPAN 2026 to Showcase Next-Generation Solutions Building the Future of the Food Processing Industry and Global Quality Standards.
Tokyo, (ANTARA/PRNewswire) - The Japan Food Machinery Manufacturers’ Association (FOOMA) will hold FOOMA JAPAN 2026, one of the world’s largest food processing exhibitions, from 2 to 5 June 2026 at Tokyo Big Sight. With the theme “The Shift is On”, this event will feature 1,025 exhibitors and display more than 7,000 products, providing a concrete vision of the future of the food industry. FOOMA JAPAN 2026 will also include an “Innovation Programme” focusing on automation, digital transformation (DX), and robotics.
Although Japanese cuisine is growing in popularity worldwide, achieving authentic flavour and quality remains a major challenge for international food producers. Japanese food processing technology offers solutions to these issues, as it can handle high-variety, low-volume production without compromising on smooth texture or presentation. In addition to providing long-term value by enhancing food safety, this technology optimises production yields and operational stability through labour-saving automation. The adoption of these systems is accelerating in the Asian market. Thanks to Japanese automated equipment, local food producers and catering industry players can save on labour while maintaining quality standards, enabling them to increase production capacity without neglecting Japanese-style quality.
About FOOMA JAPAN 2026
Covering 21 categories, the exhibition presents a comprehensive range of technologies needed for modern food processing facilities. Among them are uniquely Japanese specialised machines—such as sushi and onigiri makers, and bento assembly systems—as well as advanced freezing technology and AI-based foreign object detection systems that improve labour efficiency.
Leading companies from Asia are also participating, including a Taiwanese snack machine manufacturer (operating in more than 65 countries), a South Korean agriculture and meat company (operating in more than 100 countries), and an Indian ice cream production system manufacturer. Supported by Japan’s precision engineering strengths, the exhibitors at FOOMA JAPAN 2026 are presenting cutting-edge solutions that address global food processing industry challenges.
