Ireland’s Largest Foodservice And Hospitality Event Returns to Celebrate 60 Years
The countdown is on for the return of CATEX, Ireland’s largest Foodservice and Hospitality event, taking place at the RDS, Simmonscourt from February 18–20, 2025. With a proud 60-year history, CATEX 2025 will once again champion skills, culinary innovation and product excellence, offering an unmissable opportunity to experience the latest innovations and trends shaping the industry.
Taking place only once every two years, CATEX 2025 is the must-attend event for anyone in foodservice, hospitality, and catering industry. Over three action-packed days, visitors will have the chance to meet and reconnect with over 270 suppliers, network with industry leaders, and source cutting-edge solutions in energy efficiency and waste management—essential for navigating today’s business challenges.
The 2025 show is shaping up to be the best yet, with the floorplan now sold out and long-term show supports Calor and Bunzl McLaughlin once again sponsoring the event. Highlights include The IFSA Awards (Irish Foodservice Suppliers Alliance), sponsored by Gas Network Ireland, and live competitions, including the SCA National Coffee Championships and the Chef Ireland Culinary Competitions, hosted in partnership with the Panel of Chefs. Visitors can also gain valuable insights at the Chef Network Hub, sponsored by Avonmore, featuring live demonstrations and expert panel discussions each day.

Whether visitors are seeking the next big trend or looking to invest in solutions that save time, energy, and resources, CATEX 2025 promises something for everyone.

"As we celebrate 60 years, CATEX 2025 promises to be more exciting than ever, and will highlight cutting-edge solutions and efficiencies that address today’s challenges and opportunities."
