The 2026 iterations of ISM and ProSweets are fast-approaching in Cologne, Germany, with an array of confectionery, ingredients, equipment and systems being demonstrated across our market segments.

Editor Neill Barston offers an exclusive video with show directors Sabine Schommer and Guido Hentschke (below), discussing key elements of the show, including the introduction of ISM Ingredients, core trends, challenges and hopes for the year ahead. 

For an extended preview of this year’s ISM and ProSweets events, catch our February edition of Confectionery Production magazine, which features a range of exclusive content ahead of the show.

Confectionery Production will be a media partner for the event, so please send any show news, views and comments to myself, Neill Barston, at [email protected]
