In 2018, the international baking industry will be dominated by iba. The world's leading trade fair for bakery, confectionery and snacks will take place at Fairground Munich from September 15-20, 2018. As a premier platform, it offers an unparalleled market overview in twelve halls with all the latest innovations and products of the industry. Virtual bakery tours, a central topic for the to-go market and a speaker’s corner are exciting innovations that visitors can look forward to.
"The interest shown by national and international companies is huge. Apart from a few remaining spaces, iba is already fully booked," says Dieter Dohr, CEO and president of GHM Gesellschaft für Handwerksmessen mbH. More than 1100 exhibitors from over 45 countries (dated March 2018) will cover the entire spectrum of baking goods with their range. "As the leading trade fair, iba has an eye on all the trends in the industry worldwide, as well as the relevant requirements for bakers and confectioners, restaurateurs and industry decision-makers of the food retailing sector," explains Dohr. "At iba 2018, innovations and concepts will play a central role for all sized companies in the areas of manufacturing processes, the out-of-house market, energy efficiency, automation, hygiene, digitisation at the point of sale, and in production, shop fitting, packaging and logistics."
