Maspark takes Africa Food Show 2026
The Africa Food Show 2026 was an incredible opportunity for Maspark to connect with consumers, industry professionals, and food enthusiasts while proudly showcasing two new brands from our portfolio: Samyang and Pocket Pop.
Throughout the event, our stand was buzzing with excitement as visitors stopped by to discover, sample, and experience products that quickly became crowd favourites. It was inspiring to see firsthand how food has the power to spark conversation, create memorable experiences, and introduce consumers to something completely new.
Samyang Delivers a Flavour Experience Like No Other
One of the biggest highlights of the show was introducing visitors to the world-renowned Samyang brand. For many attendees, it was their very first time tasting the iconic Korean noodles, making every sample an exciting moment of discovery.
Consumers were pleasantly surprised by the rich, creamy flavours, satisfying texture, and bold taste that Samyang is known for. Watching first-time tasters experience the product was incredibly rewarding, with many expressing how different it was from anything they had tried before.
Of course, there were also plenty of loyal Samyang fans who were thrilled to see the brand at the show. Their enthusiasm and excitement reinforced just how strong the Samyang community continues to grow, both globally and here in South Africa.
Pocket Pop Brings Back the Taste of Childhood
Pocket Pop quickly became another visitor favourite, with consumers of all ages reminiscing over the nostalgic flavours that reminded them of childhood memories.
The convenient 200ml bottle sparked plenty of interest, proving that there is a genuine place in the market for a smaller, flavour-packed refreshment that delivers both convenience and enjoyment. Beyond the delicious taste, many visitors were excited to discover that Pocket Pop is made with natural spring water and is low in kilojoules, offering a refreshing drink that doesn't compromise on flavour.
Perhaps the most rewarding part of the experience was seeing the smiles on people's faces after their very first sip.
Pocket Pop didn't just offer a refreshing beverage, it created moments of nostalgia, happiness, and conversation, making it one of the most talked-about products at our stand.
A huge thank you to everyone who stopped by our stand, tasted our products, and supported us throughout the Africa Food Show. Your excitement, kind words, and enthusiasm for our brands made the event truly special.
We appreciate every conversation, every smile, and every moment shared, and we can't wait to see you again soon!
