oils + fats Munich

The "oils + fats" Special Area at drinktec is Europe’s only trade fair dedicated exclusively to the world of plant-based oils and fats – covering everything from raw material sourcing and processing to innovative end products. Organized by YONTEX GmbH & Co. KG, an experienced trade fair organizer based in Munich, the event takes place at the Trade Fair Center Messe München – one of the most modern and spacious exhibition venues in Europe, offering excellent infrastructure and international connectivity.

What sets "oils + fats" apart is its integration with drinktec, the world’s leading trade fair for the beverage and liquid food industry. This creates a natural synergy: technologies for processing, homogenizing, filling, and packaging liquids are just as essential in the oil and fat industry as they are in the beverage sector. As a result, "oils + fats" benefits from a platform that brings together the global leaders in technology and innovation.

The trade fair focuses on current topics across the entire value chain. Exhibitors showcase state-of-the-art methods for extracting plant-based oils – such as cold pressing and solvent extraction – alongside emerging raw materials like avocado, coconut, and rapeseed, as well as pioneering solutions in sustainability, traceability, and certification. In the processing segment, companies present efficient systems for cleaning, refining, and modifying oils and fats, including specialized technologies for producing vegan products.

Particular attention is given to the rapidly growing market for plant-based dairy alternatives. The exhibition covers all aspects of producing oat, almond, soy, rice, or coconut drinks – a segment with significant innovation potential. Vegan butter, plant-based mayonnaise, margarine, and spreads are also in focus, along with technical oils used in industrial and cosmetic applications.

Another core area is filling and packaging. Advanced systems for bottling oils in glass, cans, or bag-in-box solutions are on display, complemented by smart packaging designs and closure technologies. The offering is rounded out by the latest developments in quality assurance and laboratory analytics, including equipment for determining fatty acid profiles, peroxide values, and sensory properties.

Oils + fats at drinktec is not open to the general public, but a purely professional business platform – tailored to decision-makers, technologists, product developers, and quality managers in the food and cosmetics industries. With its clear focus, in-depth content, and integration into drinktec, it has established itself as an essential hub for innovation, networking, and investment in one of the world’s most dynamic markets.

The oils + fats will take place on 5 days from Monday, 15. September to Friday, 19. September 2025 in Munich.
