KAP and DMA Jointly Exhibit at Fine Food Australia 2026

October 30, 2026

Kikkoman Australia Pty. Limited (KAP), the Kikkoman Group's sales company, and Del Monte Asia Pte Ltd (DMA) jointly exhibited at Fine Food Australia 2026, a food industry trade show held in Melbourne, Australia, from August 31 to September 3, 2026, with the aim of enhancing brand awareness for both brands and promoting their products.

Fine Food Australia is a trade show attended by professionals from the country's food and foodservice industries. Approximately 2,500 visitors attended the 2026 event. At the joint booth, KAP and DMA introduced their respective new products through a collaborative menu featuring ramen soup topped with whole kernel corn, proposing menu ideas combining products from both brands.

The joint exhibition was conducted to create new customer touchpoints in the Australian market and to expand brand awareness among food and foodservice industry professionals. By exhibiting together, KAP and DMA were able to showcase their products in a larger booth than would have been possible separately. Through proposals combining Kikkoman and Del Monte products, they successfully promoted both brands to a wide range of visitors.

The exhibition generated inquiries from both within and outside Australia, while also contributing to increased awareness of Kikkoman's ramen soup bases and creating new business opportunities with prospective customers. Samples of halal-certified and gluten-free products were provided to major manufacturers and other companies, helping to build relationships for potential joint development projects and new market expansion. Del Monte products also attracted considerable interest, with visitors commenting that they were pleased to be able to purchase Del Monte products in Australia. The booth received inquiries regarding a broad range of products for both retail and foodservice applications.

KAP and DMA will continue to expand consumer touchpoints through joint participation in trade shows, collaborative promotional activities, and cross-brand engagement on social media.
