Letter from the Publisher

Thanks to the support of the food and beverage industry in 2012:

• Food Processing has gained 9 market share points (not percent) in a six book field, since 2008.
• Food Processing is having its best print and overall advertising year since 2004.

We vow to continue to provide you with quality products and services to fulfill your marketing needs. Our unique value propositions:

• Food Processing has the most subscribers who purchase Ingredients & Equipment, of all the food and beverage industry trade publications which audit for purchasing authority. FoodProcessing.com has the most unique visitors, page impressions, and time spent on site of all the audited food and beverage industry trade sites. (June, 2012 BPA Circulation Audit Statements: Food Processing, Prepared Foods, & Food Engineering - Food Technology and Food Manufacturing do not audit by purchasing authority or website; Food Product Design has discontinued their BPA Circulation Audit).
• Food Processing is the only B2B media franchise that reaches all purchasing types - covering every food category (snacks, beverages, meat/seafood/poultry, etc.) - as well as reaching every job title (R&D, Corporate Management, Purchasing, Plant Operations, etc.).  The Food Processing franchise, via its magazine, website, e-newsletters, and other media, explores the latest in ideation, research and development, processing technologies and packaging, and marketing: plus, the vital synergies that exist between and among job functions.
