Railway Catering Expo will be staged for the second time in Germany in November 2009.

It is designed to create a 100% focused environment for senior executives and managers who are responsible for the catering operations within rail companies, railway catering contractors and turnkey service suppliers. With over 10 billion rail passenger movements in Europe alone each year, a rapidly growing rail travel market, and more discerning customers at all levels than ever before, the challenges for suppliers of food on the move and the opportunities for those responsible for purchasing and food service are greater and potentially more rewarding than ever.
