OFI International Returns in 2026 and Heads To Amsterdam
Following on from the success of OFI International 2024 in Rotterdam, OFI International 2026 is returning to the Netherlands this year to the capital, Amsterdam.
Brought to you from the same team behind the global magazine, Oils & Fats International (OFI), OFI International 2026 will be held on 21-23 September at the Amsterdam Congress Centre @ Park Inn by Radisson.
In addition, delegates can join a guided tour of the Linseed Oil Windmill and Museum on 21 September at Zaanse Schans.
OFI International 2026 will bring together major players across the Dutch, European and global oils and fats community under one roof for a two-day exhibition and conferences.
CONFERENCES
The event will feature four key conferences:
OFI Commercial/Technical conference - ‘Responding to Market Demands’
This conference presents updates from leading experts on the key challenges currently facing the oils and fats industry including the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR), sustainability, traceability, biofuels/HVO/SAF, the global vegetable oil market and prices, trade agreements, food safety and innovations, and solutions in processing and refining.
DGF ‘Emerging and Persistent Contaminants in Oils and Fats – Challenges and Innovations’
This conference will spotlight one of the most pressing issues for the oils and fats industry: contaminant management and mitigation. As analytical methods become more sensitive and global regulations tighten, the list of substances under scrutiny continues to expand. Organised by the German Society for Fat Science (DGF), leading experts from research, regulatory agencies and industry will gather to discuss both emerging contaminants, such as persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and process-related compounds, as well as ongoing challenges including mineral oil hydrocarbons (MOH), 3-MCPD, and glycidyl esters. Participants can expect insights into the latest scientific findings, risk assessment approaches, and innovative mitigation strategies that support compliance and consumer safety. The discussion will also explore how evolving legislation and consumer expectations are shaping the future of contaminant control in fats and oils.
TRIACT Oleochemicals Technical and Market Approach
This training session will give a global overview of vegetable oils and animal fats derivatives and broaden corporate scope and vision of oleochemicals. Dedicated to technical sales, product and application development, purchasers, business & product managers and team managers, the session will strengthen know-how and boost creativity around oleochemical products and their markets.
This symposium brings together leading academic and industrial experts working at the forefront of bio-based polymers, surfactants, emulsions, and sustainable materials, who will present recent advances in the design, synthesis and functionalisation of renewable building blocks, with a particular emphasis on lipids and biobased amphiphiles as platforms for high-performance materials.
