Korea Cold Chain 2027

KOREA COLD CHAIN is a trade exhibition covering refrigerated transport, cold storage, temperature-controlled packaging and IoT monitoring for the fresh-food and healthcare supply chains. The 2027 staging is the 5th edition, organised by KY Exposition Corp. with the Korea Food Cold Chain Association and supported by MAFRA and the Global Cold Chain Alliance (GCCA). It runs inside the co-located ICPI WEEK block at KINTEX alongside COPHEX (pharma), KOREA PACK and KOREA MAT; the organiser's logo still reads 2026 although the confirmed dates are 20-23 April 2027.

It is the main domestic showcase for cold chain equipment, warehousing, packaging and monitoring vendors serving Korea and Northeast Asia, where e-commerce grocery and pharmaceutical shipment volumes are pushing refrigerated-transport demand. Visitors can compare refrigeration, storage, monitoring and packaging systems in one hall and reach the co-located pharma and packaging audiences. It functions as a sourcing and benchmarking floor rather than a standards or policy forum.

Exhibitors are cold storage operators, refrigeration and materials-handling makers, 3PLs and forwarders (FedEx has exhibited at prior editions), and temperature-monitoring and packaging suppliers. Visitors are procurement, logistics and facilities staff from Korean food, retail, healthcare and distribution companies, plus regional trade buyers. Seniority skews operational to mid-management.
