The upcoming 44th ISM – the International Confectionery Fair – takes place in Cologne from January 26 - 29, 2014, with a high number of exhibitors. This year, over 1,450 exhibitors from over 70 countries will attend the world‘s biggest and most important fair for sweets and snacks, an increase on 2013 exhibitor numbers. Among the exhibitors are companies returning to the ISM after several years‘ absence. The broad range of products – from chocolate and confectionery of all kinds to pastries and baked goods to hearty, savoury snacks – will be presented once again by market leaders as well as small to medium sized companies. The standard, this year as every year, is second to none.
