Gastro 2026 – Logistics as part of seamless HoReCa operations
How can HoReCa logistics truly simplify daily operations while boosting sales?
This question was explored from multiple perspectives at the Gastro 2026 trade fair.
Gastro 2026 gathered HoReCa professionals at the Helsinki Expo and Convention Centre on March 11–12, 2026. Over the two-day event, the exhibition offered networking opportunities, fresh ideas, and timely discussions on industry trends. As part of the corporate family, Colligx – Kylmästi Paras joined forces with Suppilog at their shared stand, highlighting the critical role logistics plays in a well-functioning ecosystem.
A shared stand brings logistics to life
The joint stand was created in collaboration with brands utilizing the Suppilog platform, resulting in a diverse showcase of products and expertise.
Featured companies included Mad Croc, JF-Trading, Pirula, Johan & Nyström and Aromix.
This wide-ranging group attracted strong interest from restaurateurs, wholesalers, and other industry professionals. Having products, services, and experts in the same space created a comprehensive offering that addresses the everyday needs of the HoReCa sector.
The trade fair particularly highlighted the joint operating model of Colligx – Kylmästi Paras and Suppilog: Suppilog provides the trading platform that connects sellers and buyers, while Colligx handles warehousing, logistics, and transportation. Together, they offer businesses a true end-to-end service, from trade to delivery.
From Colligx’s perspective, the event was an excellent opportunity to discuss how logistics drives sales and elevates the customer experience. When products move efficiently and reliably, business flows better. The fair sparked numerous practical conversations about the role of logistics in the HoReCa chain. Key themes included delivery reliability, flexibility, and the ability to adapt quickly to changing demands. For many visitors, it was crucial to understand how logistics can support their own operations—not just as transport, but as a comprehensive solution that eases daily routines and enables growth.
Setting the course for the industry
Gastro 2026 brought forward themes that are deeply integrated into modern logistics: sustainability, efficiency, and transparency. These are no longer just trends, but essential requirements throughout the supply chain. At the same time, the fair served as a reminder that despite growing digitalization, face-to-face interactions remain irreplaceable.
Logistics is key to a successful ecosystem
For Colligx, Gastro 2026 was above all an opportunity to connect with customers and partners, and to discuss how logistics can support the evolution of the HoReCa industry. When commerce, warehousing, and logistics work together seamlessly, it creates a unified solution that directly translates into a better customer experience.
