ProSweets Cologne exists since the year 2006 – a short amount of time, and yet has become one of the biggest exhibitions in the confectionary and snacks industry. It certainly helps that it shares the stage in Cologne, Germany with ISM. Both events are organised yearly and editions last for a total of four days at the start of February.

Koelnmesse performs dual roles as the organiser and the venue, but receives help in running the exhibition through several German associations as well as the Sweets Global Network. Only professionals are admitted to the exhibition and working hours are from 09:00 am in the morning until 18:00 pm in the afternoon except for closing day, when all activities wrap up at 16:00 pm.

Commuting shouldn’t trouble you at all, if you don’t have a car. Whether you decide to go by metro or the city rail service (S6, S11, S12, S13), you’ll get there in no time.

What you can expect as an exhibitor?

  • As an exhibitor, there’s nothing more valuable than reputation and visibility. It’s a given that ProSweets Cologne unites the entire industry under one roof, which concentrates great amount of attention in one place, so you’re able to get more coverage and name recognition;
  • There are immense benefits to showcasing to ProSweets Cologne alongside ISM – you’re able to connect with decision makers on all levels, giving you a fast return on investment and generate impressive sales leads.
  • The presence of the entire value chain reveals to you how the industry is moving ahead as a whole and gives insight into possible market chances and warnings for your sector. The market research helps you identify direct competitors picking steam and major trends that are about to influence the market.

ProSweets Cologne continuously grows and asserts its position internationally. Last edition saw a rich product lineup from 343 exhibitors and an audience that exceeded 21,000 trade visitors, which came from over 100 countries. That should be enough assurance that ProSweets Cologne is a good financial decision in the long run.

We also wish to highlight a curious fact–eight of the ten top brands in the world are regular attendees.

Who are the visitors? They are the full processing chain as you get decision makers from every link–management, research and development, design, food trade manufacturing and production, quality control and maintenance, product development, purchasing, sales and marketing.

Where do the visitors come from? Naturally, roughly 30% are German natives and the rest come from countries in Europe, though numbers from North America and Asia are continuously growing.

ProSweets 2022

ProSweets 2022 and ISM 2022 received around 15,000 trade visitors from 96 countries. The events were held as hybrid events between 30.01.2022 and 02.02.2022. The events were composed of a live exhibition held at Messe Cologne and a digital service known as ISM&ProSweets@home. Because of the Covid-19 pandemic, the editions had to be held in such a format. The pandemic also warranted the implementation of strict Covid-19 safety measures, such as the 3G entry policy for the live aspects. Attendees had to present before entry immunisation passports, negative test results, or proof of recovery. Among the 96 countries that attended the fair were Russia, France, Belgium, the UK, the USA, the Netherlands, and Turkey.
