On February 17, 2026, Bell Chem, A Division of Quadra was proud to serve as a Platinum Sponsor and exhibitor at the Florida Section Suppliers’ Night, hosted by the Institute of Food Technologists (IFT). As the largest annual event organized by the Florida Section IFT, Suppliers’ Night continues to be a premier forum for connecting food industry decision-makers with leading ingredient and solution providers across the region.
This year’s event brought together companies representing virtually every segment of the food industry, including beverages, dairy, seafood, baking, confectionery, fruit and vegetables, meats and poultry, retail foods, food service, processing and laboratory equipment, sanitation, and analytical testing. The breadth of representation reflects the event’s reputation as a comprehensive sourcing and networking platform for the Southeast.
Exhibiting Alongside Parent Company, Quadra, and Safe Chem
Bell Chem was especially proud to exhibit alongside our parent company, Quadra Chemicals Inc., reinforcing the strength and depth of the Quadra organization across North America. Sharing the exhibition space also highlighted our continued partnership with Safe Chem, a trusted provider of sanitation solutions.
