60 Years
Celebrate 60 Years in Service
We are thrilled to celebrate 60 years of CATEX in the Hospitality and Foodservice industry. For six decades, CATEX has been at the heart of Ireland’s foodservice and hospitality industry, serving as a cornerstone event for networking, business growth, and showcasing new products and ideas. As the event marks its 60th anniversary in 2025, CATEX continues to play a vital role in supporting Irish businesses, connecting industry professionals, and highlighting cutting-edge solutions to address the evolving challenges of the sector.
CATEX 2025 will take place in The RDS, Simmonscourt on the 18th-20th February, and in the run-up to this milestone event, we’re taking a trip down memory lane. We want to capture the essence of CATEX over the past 60 years and highlight the evolution of the Hospitality & Foodservice industry.
In the link below, you can share photos, memories, and testimonials from your CATEX experiences over the years. Whether it’s a picture of your stand, a memorable interaction or story involving other exhibitors or visitors, a sample menu or product from the past or a testimonial reflecting on the impact of the industry we would love to hear from you.
