Portland, Maine (PRWEB) November 10, 2014 -- In 1989, when Kosherfest launched kosher was a virtually non-existent food category. The market consisted of a group of mom/pop manufacturers and giants with kosher certification pushing products like gefilte fish, chopped liver, stuffed cabbage and kugel. There was little initiative to promote and expand the category.

Fast forward to today. Kosher is now very much an industry and a category that has gone far beyond its traditional base of kosher-observing Jews. There are more than 200,000 kosher-certified products. At Kosherfest, the world’s largest kosher-certified products tradeshow (November 11 & 12 at the Meadowlands Exposition Center in Secaucus, NJ) buyers will find everything from sushi to enchiladas to sausage.

“One show and so many expectations. It makes me feel good to think that when I started the show over a quarter of a century ago, the expectations were not that great. Just meeting other vendors and buyers was an expectation well worth coming. Today, the show can actually fulfill a need for any professional in the food industry” said Menachem Lubinsky, the founder of Kosherfest, who co-produces the show with Diversified Communications. “There was somewhat of a vision back then that perhaps kosher could be more than a certification; that it would emerge as a cuisine. Incredibly, kosher has reached that level and it is still rising.”

Kosherfest today hosts exhibitors from countries around the world, from Argentina to the Netherlands, from Italy to Israel. Products at Kosherfest encompass kosher-certified foods and beverages for retail sale, and ingredients and prepared foods for foodservice, including wine and spirits. The show gives manufacturers, distributors and suppliers of kosher-certified products and services the opportunity to reach thousands of mainstream and independent kosher trade buyers from across the globe.
