After a successful trade fair year in 2019, ProSweets Cologne 2020 has already exceeded all expectations in the initial booking phase. After the early bird phase has expired, 88 percent of the planned exhibition space has already been sold. The trade fair is also proving popular on an international level, because 63 percent of the applications received so far come from abroad. This commitment underlines the central significance of ProSweets Cologne as the leading supplier fair of the sweets and snacks industry. It covers the entire demand regarding the themes production, packing and ingredients – from diversified ingredient variations, to innovative packing machines and materials, through to optimised production technologies.

The previous edition of ProSweets Cologne 2020 already laid the foundation for this year’s very good early bird result: With a clear theme focus, more depth in content and a forward-looking alignment (among others Industry 4.0, intelligent packing) it convinced both visitors and exhibitors alike. Lars Kistenmacher, CEO, Commercial Director of Fuji Packaging GmbH confirmed this: “In combination with ISM, ProSweets Cologne is a fantastic trade fair with outstanding contact possibilities in the sweets and snacks section. We are already looking forward to next year!”
