TABEXPO Le Grand-Saconnex

TABEXPO is one of the most important trade fairs in the international tobacco industry. Since its inception in 1994, it has typically taken place every three to four years at rotating locations across Europe. The event is organized by Quartz Business Events, a seasoned company with proven expertise in hosting international trade fairs and conferences.

Exclusively open to industry professionals, the fair serves as a central platform for innovation, exchange, and strategic networking within the tobacco and nicotine sectors. It covers the entire value chain and offers a specialized range of products, services, and technologies — from traditional tobacco products such as cigarettes, cigars, and pipe tobacco to smoke-free alternatives and e-cigarettes, as well as machinery and equipment for processing, packaging, and logistics. Companies specializing in packaging design, product development, and research are also present, showcasing the latest innovations and studies.

One of TABEXPO’s key strengths lies in its depth of content. The program focuses on forward-looking topics such as the transformation of the nicotine industry, the role of emerging nicotine products in machinery manufacturing, investment opportunities, and global regulations — including those under the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC). Other focal points include sustainable filter technologies, measures to combat illicit trade, developments in tobacco leaf production, and market prospects in the MENA region. Expert talks and panel discussions with industry leaders round out the program, addressing current challenges and trends.

With its unique blend of market orientation, technological focus, regulatory insight, and an international network, TABEXPO has established itself as an essential event for decision-makers and innovation leaders across the industry.

On the whole the organisers welcomed on the 4 days of the fair, from 20. October to 23. October 2015, about 200 exhibitors from 93 countries and 4000 visitors on the TABEXPO in London.

The TABEXPO will take place on 2 days from Thursday, 08. May to Friday, 09. May 2025 in Le Grand-Saconnex.
