Did you know that Utah is the third healthiest state in the U.S.? In March, we headed to the Natural Products Expo West trade show to showcase the state’s natural- and specialty-food brands with the world.
In partnership with the Governor’s Office of Economic Opportunity and the U.S. Small Business Administration, World Trade Center Utah led a delegation of six natural- and specialty-food companies to represent the state at NPEW in Anaheim, Calif.
With 85,000+ attendees, 3,500+ exhibitors, and visitors from 130+ countries each year, NPEW is the natural, organic, and healthy lifestyle product industry’s largest trade show and attracts retailers for stores such as German supermarket retailer ALDI, Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba, British grocery multinational Tesco, and U.S.-based retailers such as Walmart, Whole Foods Market, and Costco.
