ProSweets Cologne 2023 expands the exhibition space

Registrations for ProSweets Cologne 2023 - Special Edition from 23 to 25 April are already twice as high as expected. Organiser Koelnmesse is therefore expanding the exhibition space.

ProSweets Cologne 2023 -Special Edition will take place next year from 23 to 25 April alongside the International Sweets and Biscuits Fair ISM in the Cologne exhibition halls. At this stage, the number of exhibitor registrations is already twice as high as expected. Due to the high demand, the exhibition space will be extended.

Originally, the exhibition space was to be limited to the central boulevard. Due to the strong increase in exhibitor registrations, the exhibition area of ProSweets Cologne 2023 - Special Edition enlarged to include the central passage between Hall 4 and Hall 5.

At this point in time Exhibitors from over 10 countries from all product areas registered. Those already taking part include: Capol GmbH, Coppenrath Feingebäck GmbH, Baker Perkins, Prefamac Chocolate Machines, Live-Tech s.r.l., Fuji Packaging, GNT Group B.V., Hacos NV, Handtmann, Maschinenfabrik Seydelmann KG, Stearinerie Dubois Fils, Dolciaria Gadeschi SpA.

„The strategy of entering the market at the one-off April edition by offering complete stand packages at reduced cost and offering extensive matchmaking with producers from the confectionery and snack industry, who are already on site due to the ISM taking place at the same time, is paying off. I am also particularly pleased about the participation of machine and plant manufacturers who are bringing their machines to the Special Edition.“

Attractive event and congress programme

In addition to current and future-oriented specialist topics, topics relating to the new zeitgeist on supply chain issues, changes in export-orientated geostrategy or energy and resource scarcity integrated into the programme. The first highlights of the event and congress programme have already been announced. For example, Euromonitor, a long-standing partner of both trade fairs, will be holding a discussion entitled „Inflation Surge and its Impact on Snacks“ the impact of inflation on the confectionery and snack market in Europe. The conceptual sponsor of ProSweets Cologne DLG will also be discussing solutions for global raw material procurement and energy efficiency in confectionery production at the joint Expert Stage with ISM.

The topic of the energy crisis - and in particular its Impact on global supply chains and the pricing of end products is a particular focus of the PSC Special Edition. The industry is active and is already developing solutions to respond to the challenges. In addition to saving energy and production resources in the manufacture of confectionery and snacks, this also includes developments to make the packaging of goods sustainable and therefore energy-saving.

For exhibiting companies, the supplier trade fair for confectionery and snacks for the Special Edition exclusively complete stand packages in three different versions. For last-minute travellers: these packages can still be purchased until 15 December 2022 via the Website can be booked at the early bird discount.

As usual, the four product segments „packaging and packaging materials“, „production and packaging technology“, „operating equipment and auxiliary devices“ and „raw materials and ingredients“ will take centre stage. In addition to these main themes, ProSweets Cologne will also focus on the area of „sweet & snackable ingredients“.
