14 Nov 2013 --- Galactic has announced the opening of its new sales office located in Milano, Italy: Galactic s.r.l. Owing to this expansion, Galactic will provide a more localised service to its Italian customers.

Galactic has had a presence in Italy for years through long-term relationships with end-users and strategic partners. Those partnerships will be strengthened and will be better supported thanks to the new commercial office located in Milano. On top of its traditional business in the Italian food industry, the Belgian company also sees a very important potential for industrial, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical applications.

Galactic will be attending Food Ingredients Europe (FiE) on November 19-21 in Frankfurt, Germany (Booth 8J77). As the world's most important gathering of ingredient suppliers, distributors and buyers from the food & beverage industry, it will be an opportunity for the company to present their latest innovations and solutions to clients and prospects.
