LAIeF at Gulfood Manufacturing 2025

An event that anticipates global trends

Gulfood Manufacturing 2025 is not only a showcase but a true laboratory of the future. Here companies, professionals, and innovators meet to exchange ideas on topics such as process digitalization, sustainable production, automation, and food safety. It is a space where emerging technologies become concrete development opportunities, where one can discover the directions in which the global food & beverage market is heading.

In this context, LAIeF fits perfectly with its research- and quality-oriented approach. Its industrial ice cream production lines are designed to deliver high performance and adapt to increasingly dynamic production needs, while keeping energy efficiency and waste reduction at the core.

Technology and creativity serving novelties

LAIeF will focus in particular on the world of ice cream novelties – sticks, popsicles, sandwiches, and ice cream cakes – products that require a delicate balance between innovation, precision, and creativity.

The machines designed by our company allow us to work in different formats with exceptional versatility, ensuring consistent quality standards and full control over process parameters. This approach makes it possible to meet an evolving market that is increasingly interested in original, sustainable products capable of combining taste and technology.

Dubai as a meeting point between cultures and markets

The choice of Dubai is no coincidence: the city once again proves to be a strategic platform for those who wish to broaden their horizons towards the Middle East, Asia, and Africa. Gulfood Manufacturing attracts thousands of visitors and international operators every year, offering opportunities for dialogue, partnership, and visibility in a dynamic and multicultural environment.

For LAIeF, being part of this network again this year means strengthening its global presence and reaffirming its role as an ambassador of Italian expertise in the world of industrial ice cream production.

An award for innovation: the Gulfood Manufacturing Industry Excellence Awards

During Gulfood Manufacturing, the Industry Excellence Awards 2025 will be presented, a recognition reserved for those who have successfully brought impactful innovation to the food & beverage industry by introducing solutions that redefine standards: from smart food-tech technologies to sustainability-oriented engineering design, through high-performance production systems and new ingredient sciences.

Looking ahead

Taking part in Gulfood Manufacturing also means closely observing the evolution of the food industry and seizing its new challenges: intelligent automation, sustainability, process digitalization, and the search for increasingly efficient solutions.

In this context, LAIeF continues to pursue its mission: to innovate with expertise, transforming the Italian ice cream-making tradition into innovative technologies capable of meeting tomorrow’s production needs:

  • Linear and rotary machines for the industrial production of ice cream on stick, customizable in all their components (molds, dosing units, stick machine, granulator, packaging line) and suitable for high-quality ice cream production in large volumes.
  • Varying production capacities: up to 22,000 pieces.
  • Sandwich machines to produce ice cream sandwiches. This is a wide range offering differing levels of flexibility and capacity: from 3,000 up to 15,000 ice cream sandwiches per hour.
  • Machines for extruded ice cream cakes, where the final product is extruded continuously onto plastic trays, transported along the production line by a ladder chain.
  • Stainless steel wrapping machines, designed for the specific needs of an ice cream factory, where humidity and washing with chemical cleaning agents place the materials used under great strain.
  • Our Top Products, designed to create tailor-made ice cream for each of our customers.

We look forward to seeing you there: – Stand S3-C34 Hall Shk Saeed Hall 3
