1.SIAL Paris 2026: One of the World's Leading Food & Beverage Exhibitions
What Is SIAL Paris?
SIAL Paris, short for Salon International de l'Alimentation, is a major international trade exhibition dedicated to the food and beverage sector. The event brings together companies across multiple categories and creates a business environment where manufacturers, suppliers, distributors, retailers and buyers can meet, exchange ideas and explore new commercial opportunities.
The 2026 edition will be held from October 17 to October 21, 2026, at Paris Nord Villepinte. The official SIAL Paris exhibitor platform is already listing exhibitors and products registered for the 2026 edition.
For beverage manufacturers, an international exhibition such as SIAL Paris provides a different environment from ordinary online business development. Buyers can compare product concepts, packaging formats, flavors, brands and manufacturing capabilities in one location. Exhibitors can also introduce their companies directly to potential importers, distributors, retailers and private-label partners.
SIAL Paris by the Numbers
The scale of SIAL Paris makes it particularly relevant for companies seeking international B2B opportunities.
According to the official SIAL Paris visitor information, the 2026 edition features 4,672 exhibitors from 130 countries, with 233,600 products, including 2,500 products entered in SIAL Innovation, and 114 countries represented. SIAL Paris also expects around 210,040 professionals from 205 countries.
The official SIAL Paris exhibitor information also highlights the strong purchasing and business profile of the event. At the 2024 edition, the show reported thousands of top buyers and noted that a significant proportion of visitors were involved in purchasing decisions. The event also states that 63% of 2024 exhibitors signed contracts with new countries.
These figures help explain why SIAL Paris is relevant to beverage manufacturers looking to develop international business. Instead of approaching markets one by one, companies can meet professionals from multiple regions within the same exhibition environment.
Why Is SIAL Paris Important for Beverage Manufacturers?
SIAL Paris creates opportunities at several levels.
First, it provides international buyer exposure. Importers and distributors attending the event can discover new suppliers and product categories while manufacturers can introduce their portfolios to potential business partners.
Second, it provides a platform for product innovation and market trends. SIAL Innovation is one of the exhibition's prominent programs, highlighting products and concepts selected for their innovative characteristics. In 2026, thousands of products are entered into the SIAL Innovation program.
Third, SIAL Paris supports B2B networking. A beverage manufacturer can use the exhibition to discuss distribution, product development, packaging, private label, OEM and ODM projects directly with interested companies.
SIAL Paris is also held every two years. This biennial schedule makes each edition an important meeting point for companies following developments in the international food and beverage industry.
For Rita, participating in the 2026 edition creates an opportunity to place Vietnamese beverage manufacturing in front of a highly international audience.
2. Why Is Rita Exhibiting at SIAL Paris 2026?
Expanding Rita's Presence in Europe
Rita's participation in SIAL Paris 2026 reflects its continuing focus on international markets.
Europe represents an important destination for companies developing cross-border beverage businesses because the region includes diverse retail channels, established distribution networks and a wide range of beverage categories. Rather than approaching the European market only through individual online inquiries, Rita can use SIAL Paris as a direct B2B meeting platform.
At Hall 5, Booth G-141, Rita will have the opportunity to meet importers, distributors, retailers, beverage brands and other professional visitors interested in new beverage products and manufacturing partnerships.
The objective is not simply to display products. The exhibition provides an environment for discussing actual commercial requirements, including product specifications, packaging, quantities, market positioning, branding and private-label development.
Showcasing Vietnamese Beverage Innovation
Vietnam has become increasingly visible in international beverage manufacturing through its combination of tropical flavor inspiration, modern production capabilities and export-oriented business models.
Rita's SIAL Paris 2026 portfolio reflects this combination. The selected products feature familiar beverage categories such as soda, tea and sparkling beverages while introducing combinations designed to create a distinctive product concept. Examples include strawberry and lemon, apple tea with popping boba, ginger milk tea and peach-flavored sparkling kombucha.
This approach allows Rita to present Vietnamese beverage development not only through traditional flavors but also through modern ready-to-drink formats and contemporary packaging.
Connecting with International Beverage Buyers
SIAL Paris is particularly valuable for B2B companies because the people attending the exhibition are not simply general consumers. The event is designed around professional business visitors, including buyers, distributors, retailers, importers and other industry professionals.
For Rita, conversations at the booth can cover several types of cooperation.
An importer may be looking for an established beverage portfolio for distribution in a specific market. A retailer may be interested in a private-label project. A beverage brand may want to develop a new flavor or packaging format. A distributor may be looking for ready-to-market products.
These different requirements can be addressed through Rita's OEM, ODM and private-label manufacturing capabilities.
3. Rita's Four SIAL Innovation Selection Beverages
One of the strongest highlights of Rita's presence at SIAL Paris 2026 is its selection of four beverage products for the SIAL Innovation program.
Strawberry Lemon Prebiotic Soda 330ml Short Can
The Strawberry Lemon Prebiotic Soda 330ml Short Can combines two recognizable fruit flavors: sweet strawberry and bright lemon.
The product is presented in a compact 330ml short-can format, giving it a contemporary appearance suitable for modern beverage portfolios. Rita describes the product as available under the Rita brand as well as through OEM and ODM cooperation.
The combination of strawberry and lemon gives the product a clear flavor identity. Strawberry contributes a familiar fruity character, while lemon adds a sharper citrus note. Together, they create a recognizable flavor concept within the carbonated beverage category.
For international buyers, the product can also serve as a starting point for discussions about customized flavors, branding and packaging.
Popping Boba Tea Apple Flavor 320ml Can
The Popping Boba Tea Apple Flavor 320ml Can brings together tea, apple flavor and popping boba in one ready-to-drink format.
Its most distinctive feature is the popping boba component. Instead of offering only a conventional tea beverage, the product introduces a texture element that creates a different drinking experience.
The apple flavor provides a familiar fruit profile, while the popping boba adds an interactive element. Rita presents the product in a 320ml aluminum can, combining the visual identity of a modern beverage package with a product concept inspired by the popularity of tea and boba beverages.
This product demonstrates how Rita approaches beverage innovation by combining established categories with additional sensory and visual elements.
For distributors and beverage brands, the concept can also open discussions about flavor customization, packaging development and private-label applications.
Rita Ginger Milk Tea Natural Black Tea 325ml Sleek Can
The Rita Ginger Milk Tea Natural Black Tea 325ml Sleek Can combines black tea, milk tea and ginger in a modern ready-to-drink format.
Ginger and tea have long been familiar flavor combinations across Asian beverage culture. Rita transforms this traditional flavor direction into a contemporary canned beverage designed for international presentation.
The 325ml sleek-can format gives the product a clean and modern appearance. According to Rita's official product information, the product has been selected for the SIAL Innovation Selection Paris 2026 and will be showcased during SIAL Paris 2026.
The product also illustrates Rita's approach to bringing Asian-inspired beverage concepts into modern packaging formats. For international buyers, this type of product can be considered for retail, foodservice and private-label beverage portfolios depending on individual market requirements.
Rita Sparkling Kombucha Peach Flavour with Prebiotic
The Rita Sparkling Kombucha Peach Flavour with Prebiotic combines sparkling kombucha with peach flavor in a contemporary canned beverage format.
Peach gives the product a recognizable fruity profile, while sparkling kombucha creates a distinctive beverage concept. Rita offers the product in aluminum-can formats and presents it as an OEM/ODM product as well as a Rita-branded beverage.
Its flavor combination reflects Rita's broader approach to product development: taking established beverage categories and creating new combinations around recognizable fruit profiles.
At SIAL Paris 2026, the product will form part of Rita's selected innovation portfolio, giving international buyers an opportunity to discover the concept and discuss possible commercial applications.
4.Rita Beverage Concepts for the French & European Market
Rather than making a definitive claim that a specific beverage is suitable for every European market, Rita's products can be viewed as beverage concepts with potential for different European retail and distribution channels.
Every market has its own consumer preferences, labeling requirements, packaging expectations and commercial conditions. Therefore, product selection should ultimately be discussed with local importers, distributors and market partners.
Innovative Tea Beverages
Tea remains an important foundation for beverage innovation, and Rita's portfolio demonstrates several ways of developing tea-based products.
The Popping Boba Tea Apple Flavor combines tea with apple flavor and popping boba, creating a more interactive product concept.
The Ginger Milk Tea combines black tea, milk tea and ginger, bringing an Asian-inspired flavor profile into a sleek canned format.
These products can appeal to buyers searching for beverage concepts that move beyond conventional tea formats.
Fruit-Based Beverage Concepts
Fruit flavors are another important part of Rita's beverage development.
Strawberry and lemon provide the core flavor combination of the Strawberry Lemon Prebiotic Soda, while peach provides the leading flavor direction in Rita's sparkling kombucha.
Rita also develops a broader range of fruit-based beverages, including tropical fruit concepts such as coconut, mango and passion fruit.
For European buyers, tropical and Asian-inspired flavors can provide opportunities to diversify beverage portfolios and create products with a distinct international identity.
Another common element across Rita's SIAL Innovation products is the ready-to-drink format.
Rather than requiring additional preparation, the products are presented as finished beverages in consumer-ready packaging. The use of aluminum cans and sleek cans also gives brands multiple options when developing modern retail portfolios.
For B2B buyers, packaging is not only a visual consideration. It is part of the wider commercial discussion involving branding, production, logistics, shelf presentation and target channels.
5.Rita's OEM, ODM & Private Label Beverage Manufacturing
Rita's participation in SIAL Paris 2026 is also focused on business-to-business beverage manufacturing.
The company provides OEM, ODM and private-label solutions for international customers seeking beverage products under different commercial models.
OEM Beverage Manufacturing
Under an OEM model, the customer generally provides product specifications, formulation requirements or an established product concept, while the manufacturer handles the agreed production process.
Depending on the project, cooperation may involve:
- Product specifications
- Ingredient and formulation requirements
- Packaging format
- Label design
- Production
- Filling and packaging
- Quality control
- Export preparation
This model can be useful for established brands that already have a clear product concept and are looking for a beverage manufacturing partner.
ODM Beverage Development
ODM provides a different approach.
Instead of entering the manufacturing process with a completed formulation, a customer may begin with a product idea, target flavor, beverage category or market concept.
The development process can then move through several stages:
Concept → Product Development → Sampling → Customer Approval → Production → Packaging → Export
This model gives international beverage companies an opportunity to work with Rita on developing a product concept rather than simply ordering an existing beverage.
Private Label Beverage Manufacturing
Private-label manufacturing allows a beverage to be produced by Rita while being sold under the customer's own brand.
This model can be relevant for:
- Retailers
- Supermarket groups
- Importers
- Distributors
- Beverage brands
- Foodservice businesses
A private-label project may involve selecting an existing Rita product, adapting a formulation, choosing packaging, developing labels and preparing the finished product for the customer's target market.
From Beverage Concept to Finished Product
Rita's manufacturing cooperation can be viewed as a complete business process:
Consultation → Product Development → Sampling → Approval → Mass Production → Quality Control → Export → Shipment
This structure allows international customers to discuss the project from the initial beverage concept through to finished products prepared for export.
The exact process, minimum order quantity, packaging format, production schedule and documentation requirements can vary according to each project.
6.Why Choose Rita as Your Beverage Manufacturing Partner?
Experienced Beverage Manufacturer
Rita Food & Drink Co., Ltd. has operated since 2004 and has developed an extensive beverage portfolio covering multiple categories, flavors and packaging formats.
The company's international orientation makes export requirements an important part of its business model.
Flexible OEM and ODM Solutions
Beverage brands do not always require the same type of cooperation.
Some customers need an existing product. Others need a customized flavor. Some want a completely new beverage concept.
OEM and ODM models allow Rita to work with different project requirements rather than relying on a single standard product model.
Packaging is an important part of beverage product development.
Depending on the project, Rita works with formats including aluminum cans, sleek cans, PET bottles, glass bottles and other packaging solutions.
The final format can be discussed according to the product concept, brand identity, target market and project specifications.
Quality and International Standards
For international beverage manufacturing, documentation and certification are important parts of the B2B process.
Rita presents certifications and standards including HACCP, ISO 22000, FSSC 22000, GMP, FDA, HALAL, across its company and product materials. However, certification applicability can vary by product and scope, so customers should confirm the current certificate and applicable scope for each specific project before making commercial decisions.
This is particularly important when developing products for different countries because labeling, registration, certification and import requirements can vary between markets.
International Export Capability
International beverage manufacturing also requires experience beyond production.
Export projects may involve documentation, packaging specifications, shipping arrangements, customs procedures and communication between manufacturers, distributors and importers.
Rita's participation in international exhibitions such as SIAL Paris provides an opportunity to discuss these requirements directly with prospective business partners.
