ProSweets Cologne, the international supplier fair for the confectionery industry, ended on Wednesday, 3rd February 2010 after delivering good results and thereby providing fresh momentum in the sector. The trade fair, which took place for the fourth time, once again set new record results and achieved new growth in all categories — exhibitors, visitors and exhibition area. A total of 325 suppliers from 30 countries took part in ProSweets Cologne, presenting their products and services on a gross exhibition space of 19,000 m² to more than 19,000 trade visitors from 60 countries. “In view of the overall economic situation, the success of ProSweets Cologne is even more impressive,” said Koelnmesse CEO Gerald Böse. “It also underlines the importance of the trade fair as a marketing tool, information exchange and catalyst for positive development in the sector.” ProSweets Cologne is the world’s only trade fair that focuses on all the needs of confectionery sector suppliers — from production to processing to packaging of confectionery products. The conceptual sponsors of ProSweets Cologne 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).

"Our concept to provide the supplier industry with its own specific platform has finally been fully appreciated by the sector. This was especially underlined by the large number of expert visitors from the area of production and manufacturing who attended the event."

the food processing sector are undoubtedly the support measures
implemented since 2006 by the Russian state for the agricultural
and food processing industries.
