The guided tours are very popular because they offer advantages for everyone: Exhibitors can present their latest products and
innovations. Afterwards, every participant has the opportunity to engage in more intensive dialogue. Rainer Lapp (2nd from left)

Guided Tours: The programme attracts visitors for the third time
The trade magazine "Sweets Processing" from the ‘Sweets Global Network’ association will once again be offering guided tours in 2026 in cooperation with Koelnmesse.
The focus will be on the entire value chain: from raw materials and ingredients via technology and packaging to automation and IT solutions. On 2 and 3 February, we will start at 12.15 p.m. at the association's stand in the passage between Halls 10 and 11.The guided tours are tours of ProSweets (Hall 10.1) with five exhibitors each. Employees of the exhibiting companies will give 10-minute presentations on their portfolio and their new trade fair highlights. The focus will be on ProSweets, but also on the new format of ISM Ingredients, which was created for this trade fair.
Ingredients are therefore just as much a focus as technological applications and packaging machines, which continue to be intensively dedicated to the topic of sustainability. The tour also focuses on precisely those packaging materials that are increasingly being used in the industry. In addition, energy-saving potential during production is discussed, which must be exploited in order to remain competitive in the market and present a positive image to
customers. In addition to the technical programme, there will of course be opportunities for networking – a very important aspect at the beginning of February in Cologne.
The tours end at the joint stand of the Zentralfachschule der Deutschen Süßwarenwirtschaft e. V. (Central College of the German Confectionery Industry), the German Agricultural Society and the B051 Association. So it's one trade fair highlight after another.
The number of participants is limited to 20 people per tour. The total duration is approximately 60 minutes. Registration under: www.sg-network.org/event-guided_tour_2026
