SDFOOD Korea’s NO1 gummy manufacturer in Gulfood Dubai, the Biggest Food Exhibition in the Middle East

SD Food is proud to announce its participation in Gulfood Dubai, the premier food and beverage trade show in the Middle East.   Starting this year in 2026, to match its status as a leading global exhibition, Gulfood has expanded its venue to two locations: the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) and the Dubai Exhibition Centre (DEC).   SD Food will host a booth in the World Food section at the Dubai World Trade Centre. We will showcase a diverse range of options including gummies, jellies, and chocolate balls, featuring our new Vegan and Halal gummy jelly lines as the foundation of our exhibit.   As the global food sourcing market undergoes rapid transformation, SD Food has responded by installing state-of-the-art German production lines capable of manufacturing high-functionality, plant-based gummy jellies. At this year's Gulfood, we will present innovative products that meet the growing demands of global buyers for reliability, diversity, and innovation in health-functional gummies, moving beyond simple, basic food items. The World Food hall, held this January, serves as the heart of Gulfood and acts as a hub for the world’s largest national pavilions and multi-item food supplies.   According to SD Food’s overseas export manager, we plan to focus on promoting specialized Vegan and Halal functional gummies tailored for the Middle Eastern market, including: • Sleep Health Gummies to aid rest. • Multivitamin Gummies for basic nutrition and immunity. • Postbiotics Gummies for digestive health. • Biotin Gummies for hair and nail health. • Plant-based Collagen Gummies for skin health and beauty. • Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) Gummies for diet and weight management.   Building on 40 years of production expertise as the No. 1 gummy and chocolate ball manufacturer in Korea—a legacy inherited from our parent company, Daewoong—and maintaining strict international quality standards, we are ready to officially introduce our unique plant-based pectin and halal gummies to the global market. This exhibition serves as a promising blueprint for SD Food’s first major expansion into the Middle Eastern market and is highly anticipated as a key milestone in our global activities.   정현식 기자manufacturer exhibition dubai exhibition world food middle east
