Together, ISM (the sweets fair) and ProSweets Cologne (the supplier fair) cover every step involved in bringing candy and snacks from idea to store shelf. They also boast the world’s biggest selection of private label options for sweet and salty treats.

ISM Cologne 2025 will open endless possibilities for visitors to dive into various offerings across core categories like chocolate, sugar confectionery, biscuits, snack foods, and the ever-evolving trends in natural and breakfast snacks, not to mention the indulgent world of ice cream. Over the four-day event, Messe Cologne will become an international hub, welcoming trade professionals from over 140 countries, including the Netherlands, Spain, Ukraine, Japan, and Canada.

Yet, ISM 2025 goes beyond indulgence. Its robust supporting programme fosters knowledge sharing and informed decision-making.
