International exhibition of equipment, ingredients and packaging for beverage production.
As Moscow prepares for a bustling spring exhibition calendar, one event stands out for its specialized focus and industry-wide significance. From April 14-16, 2026, the BeviTec International Exhibition will transform Crocus Expo into the undisputed hub for beverage production technology across Russia and the CIS . In a market defined by complexity—spanning everything from artisanal cider to industrial-scale soft drink manufacturing — this is not merely a trade show; it is the only dedicated platform where the entire beverage ecosystem converges.
A Decade of Distinction: The BeviTec Legacy
Since its launch in 2015, BeviTec has established itself as the most important event in the beverage industry for Russia and the CIS region. What sets it apart is its comprehensive scope: this is the only specialized exhibition in Russia and the CIS dedicated exclusively to the production, packaging, and sale of all types of beverages.
The event’s uniqueness lies in its inclusivity. Whether your interest lies in milk and dairy products, the full spectrum of non-alcoholic beverages, mineral waters, wines, beers, or spirits, BeviTec delivers a complete picture of the industry. This breadth ensures that professionals from every corner of the beverage sector find relevant solutions under one roof.
The 2025 edition demonstrated the event’s solid foundation, attracting 100 exhibitors from 20 countries and 77 regions of Russia, drawing 4,575 professional visitors. For 2026, organisers are building on this success with an expanded program and new formats designed to address the most pressing issues facing the industry.
Government Support and Industry Partnership
BeviTec’s authority is reinforced by high-level institutional backing. The exhibition operates with the support and participation of key federal bodies, including the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation and the Ministry of Agriculture of the Russian Federation. This official endorsement signals the event’s strategic importance to national industrial development.
Equally significant is the involvement of industry associations. The Союз производителей соков, воды и напитков (Union of Juice, Water and Beverage Producers) has signed on as a strategic partner for the 2026 edition, planning to organize an expert session addressing key industry development questions, regulatory frameworks, and market participant interests. This partnership ensures that the program reflects the real concerns and priorities of the industry’s leading players.
The newly announced 2026 business program also features collaborations with organizations including Cidrology (cider producers), Opora Rossii (the all-Russian small business association), alcoexpert (alcohol industry specialists), the АБКР (Association of Branding Agencies of Russia), and the НКПак (National Packaging Union). This web of partnerships ensures that every segment of the beverage industry finds its voice at BeviTec.
