Why VICTAM International Amsterdam matters

Evaluate production technology

Feed and grain processing depends on equipment that must fit product characteristics, throughput targets and plant operations. VICTAM gives production and technical teams a dedicated place to examine machinery and compare approaches across feed, aquafeed, petfood, grain and milling applications.

Connect ingredients with processing

Feed ingredients and additives sit alongside processing technology in the event’s profile. Nutritionists, formulators and production managers can consider how input choices relate to formulation, processing and finished-feed requirements, then use conversations with suppliers to identify questions for their own operations.

Work across adjacent sectors

The event combines animal feed processing with GRAPAS Europe’s grain, flour and rice milling focus and is co-located with VIV Europe. That breadth gives participants a wider view of related supply chains while still allowing them to set priorities around their own products and purchasing needs.

At the 2026 edition, the organiser reported 7,038 visitors from 127 countries. These organiser-reported figures indicate an international professional audience, but do not guarantee access to particular buyers or business outcomes.

The 2026 edition’s professional programme included the International Feed Technology Congress, technical sessions on feed production and pelleting, and the VICTAM & GRAPAS Innovation Award Ceremony. These are examples from the completed 2026 edition, not a confirmed schedule for 2029.

How to prepare before VICTAM International Amsterdam

1. Define the decision you need to make

Set a practical objective before travelling: for example, shortlist suppliers for a feed-mill upgrade, compare milling systems, assess a new aquafeed process or review ingredient options for a specific formulation. A clear question helps you focus on relevant stands and technical conversations.

2. Build a target list

Use the organiser’s exhibitor information when the 2029 directory is available. Separate companies into essential, useful and exploratory priorities. Record the product category and the reason each company matters to your project.

3. Prepare technical questions

• Which process stages and product types does the system support?
• What throughput range and product specifications should be considered?
• Which ingredient characteristics affect equipment performance?
• How are grinding, mixing, pelleting or extrusion parameters controlled?
• What installation, utilities and integration requirements should be evaluated?
• Which maintenance, spare-parts and service arrangements are available?
• How does the supplier document performance and quality controls?
• For milling, what grain types, outputs and ancillary systems are relevant?

4. Arrange priority conversations

Contact high-priority suppliers before the exhibition if the organiser’s 2029 matchmaking or meeting tools are available. Share only the project information needed for a useful discussion: product type, process stage, capacity range, timing and the technical decision you are evaluating.

5. Plan the practical details

Check visitor registration, travel arrangements, opening information and the final programme with the organiser before departure. RAI Amsterdam is accessible by rail and has a dedicated station; international visitors can plan connections through Schiphol Airport.

How to make the most of VICTAM International Amsterdam

Use a consistent note for every relevant conversation: Company → Product → Process fit → Evidence to review → Next action. For example, a feed-mill operator could record a pelleting system’s stated product range, the technical specifications still needed, and whether a follow-up discussion with production engineering is appropriate.

• Compare like with like: note the process stage, product type and operating requirement behind each solution.
• Ask suppliers to distinguish standard equipment from optional configurations.
• For ingredients and additives, record intended application and the product documentation you need to evaluate.
• For milling and storage systems, note how each supplier addresses your facility’s material flow and process requirements.
• Use the 2029 programme, once confirmed, to reserve time for relevant conferences or technical sessions.

Business matchmaking is listed by the organiser as part of VICTAM’s offer. Check the 2029 arrangements and prepare a concise description of your company, target products and meeting objectives before using any service.

Beyond the exhibition floor at VICTAM International Amsterdam

The 2026 programme provides examples of the event’s knowledge activities. It included the third International Feed Technology Congress, organised by the VICTAM Foundation and Wageningen University & Research, with the theme “Science meets Industry”. The programme covered feed materials and process technology, including pelleting, process optimisation, ingredient functionality and formulation challenges.

The 2026 schedule also included technical seminars and the VICTAM & GRAPAS Innovation Award Ceremony. These completed-edition examples can help visitors identify the kind of technical learning the event has hosted, but they should not be treated as confirmed 2029 sessions.

How many days should you plan for VICTAM International Amsterdam?

One day

Choose one day if your objectives are narrow: focus on a defined shortlist of suppliers, one main sector and a small number of technical conversations. Set priorities before arrival and leave time to record follow-up actions.

Two days

Two days can suit visitors comparing several equipment categories or combining feed-processing meetings with GRAPAS milling interests. Use one day for priority supplier discussions and the other for adjacent sectors, technical learning and follow-up meetings.

All three days

Consider the full three-day exhibition if you need to cover multiple sectors, attend relevant programme sessions once they are announced, or meet a broader range of suppliers. The event runs for three days; build your plan around the 2029 exhibitor list and final programme.

After VICTAM International Amsterdam: turn notes into decisions

Within a few days of the exhibition, sort contacts into three groups:

• A — Immediate: suppliers or partners directly relevant to an active equipment, ingredient or production project.
• B — Potential: companies that merit further technical or commercial evaluation.
• C — Market intelligence: contacts and information useful for understanding technologies or sector developments later.

For machinery discussions, request the technical specifications, configuration details, installation requirements, service terms and references needed for your evaluation. For ingredients and additives, follow up for product documentation, intended applications, handling information and any compliance material relevant to your market. Compare proposals against the same requirements before making purchasing decisions.

Is VICTAM International Amsterdam worth visiting?

VICTAM International Amsterdam is most relevant to professionals who work in animal feed production, feed-mill operations, aquafeed and petfood processing, or grain, flour and rice milling. Its value comes from the combination of machinery, ingredients and related technologies across these sectors, supported by professional conferences and technical seminars in previous editions. A visit is more useful when you arrive with a defined project, prioritised suppliers and specific technical questions; walking the exhibition without a plan can make it harder to compare solutions or turn conversations into decisions.
