These include market leaders as well as medium-sized companies and smaller specialised suppliers. <strong>According to the organiser, the significant increase in participation from the Sweet &amp; Snackable Ingredients segment was particularly pleasing.<\/strong> Compared to the previous event, more than twice as many exhibitors from the raw materials\/ingredients\/semi-finished products sector will be represented. Against the background of <strong>stronger consumer demand for sustainable and at the same time technologically convincing products<\/strong> this segment is becoming increasingly important.
