Third sweet fair
In eleven months, from 1st to 4th February 2009, ProSweets Cologne will take place for the third time in Cologne. Conceived as a trade fair for the suppliers of the confectionery industry, ProSweets focuses on the entire spectrum of products and services needed for the production, processing and packaging of confectionery products. This includes the product areas Ingredients (raw materials and other ingredients), Confectionery Packaging and Packaging Technology, Machines and Plants for the Confectionery Industry, and secondary segments such as Food Safety and Quality Management.In January 2007, the number of exhibitors at ProSweets Cologne totalled 289 from 26 countries, an increase of more than 20 per cent in comparison to the previous event. There was also significant growth in the number of visitors attending the fair:
around 10,700 trade visitors, including 6,500 from abroad, corresponded to an increase of over 35 per cent. The trade visitors from Germany and the EU were joined by a large number of experts primarily from eastern Europe, the Middle East and overseas.
In order to further optimise the general conditions for the confectionery sector and fully exploit all synergy potential, ProSweets Cologne will take place entirely in parallel to the International Sweets and Biscuits Fair (ISM) as of 2009.
Companies that make an early decision to participate in ProSweets Cologne enjoy special conditions. Exhibitors who submit a binding registration by 31st May 2008 are eligible for an early-bird discount – as in previous years. ProSweets Cologne will again offer early bookers a discount on the stand rental fee.
At ProSweets Cologne and the leading trade fair ISM, Koelnmesse presents the confectionery industry’s entire value chain at one trade fair location, from individual raw ingredients and process and packaging technology to the packaging itself and the product ready for retail sale. The conceptual sponsors of ProSweets are the Association of the German Confectionery Industry (BDSI), Sweets Global Network (SG), the German Agricultural Society (DLG) and the Central College of the German Confectionery Industry (ZDS).
