SNACKEX Lisbon

SNACKEX, initiated in 1985, is the only international trade fair exclusively focused on savory snacks and snack nuts. Organized by the European Snacks Association (ESA), the fair takes place every two years in the summer, hosted in a different major European city each time. This format promotes the cultural diversity of Europe and brings together professionals from the snack industry to discuss current trends and innovations.

The fair serves as a central meeting point for the industry, providing insights into the entire manufacturing process of savory snacks – from ingredient selection to laboratory testing, packaging processes, and the final products. SNACKEX showcases a wide range of products, including potato chips, tortilla chips, corn and pellet snacks, as well as a selection of snack nuts such as peanuts and exotic nut mixes.

A distinctive feature of SNACKEX is the numerous networking opportunities with industry leaders, qualified buyers, and decision-makers. The fair acts as a platform for trade and exchange, fostering direct contact with industry leaders and supporting the formation of valuable business relationships. The event program includes social events and a conference that provides insights into future industry challenges and opportunities.

Each venue contributes its local charm to the unique atmosphere of the fair, highlighting the international character of the event and inspiring both visitors and exhibitors. Thus, SNACKEX is more than just a trade fair – it is a vibrant, culturally enriching industry event that brings the entire snack industry together and creates an unparalleled platform for professional exchange and economic momentum.

The SNACKEX will take place on 2 days from Wednesday, 17. June to Thursday, 18. June 2026 in Lisbon.
