supported by ZDS Die Süßwarenakademie
Under the motto "Confectionery meets bakery - Planning. Producing. Controlling." the iba.CONFECTIONERY TEC AREA - supported by the Zentralfachschule der Deutschen Süßwarenwirtschaft e.V. (ZDS) - set itself the goal of providing information on current trends.
The focus was on ingredients, process technologies and proven best practices. In particular, the focus was on the refinement of fine baked goods and on chocolate processing technologies in fillings, glazes and decorations.
The overarching goal was to increase the added value of fine baked goods in particular.
In cooperation with partner ZDS, an area was created in Hall 9, B11, where visitors could exchange ideas with a wide range of exhibitors and find out about the latest technologies.
