The next edition of ISM, the international trade fair in Cologne for the confectionery sector, will be exceptionally postponed to 23th-25th April 2023.
Confectionery industry is currently facing extreme challenges due to the rising costs of raw materials, energy and logistics, with inevitable and incalculable consequences on consumer behavior. Therefore, the decision of Koelnmesse aims to be a response to the operators’ whishes and concerns, with maximum planning security and an optimal schedule, together with the best possible business opportunities for companies and visitors, as the Koelnmesse managing director Gerald Böse explaines.
Due to postponement ISM will last one less days, while the organizers of ProSweets Cologne (which is normally held in parallel) are considering the same dates in April.
