From February 2026, ISM, the world's leading trade fair for confectionery and snacks, will expand its portfolio with an innovative format: ISM Ingredients. This new segment will replace the previous Ingredients section of ProSweets Cologne and create an independent platform for raw materials, ingredients and semi-finished products.

Full halls, good business, top atmosphere

ProSweets Cologne 2025 was staged in Cologne from 2 to 5 February and it confirmed its significance as the must-attend event for the international supplier industry of the sweets and snacks sector.

The trade fair experience was characterised by optimism and a tangible euphoria from the very start - enhanced by a revised hall concept that created clear structures and new theme worlds, as well as new event and content formats that provided fresh impetus.

New Platform ISM Ingredients starts 2026

From February 2026, we offer you a new platform: ISM Ingredients.

This fresh segment will replace the existing ingredients section of ProSweets Cologne, establishing a standalone platform dedicated to raw materials, ingredients, and semi-finished products. Its integration into Hall 10.1, under the strong ISM brand umbrella, provides the perfect conditions to maximise synergies between suppliers and producers.

At the same time, ProSweets Cologne will continue to exist as an independent trade fair and will focus on machinery, systems, packaging solutions and food safety in future.
