International trade fair for confectionery
ISM 2026

Cologne // 31.01. – 03.02.2027
Save the date: IPD & OTGS at the world’s largest trade fair for confectionery and snacks
At the ISM in Cologne, the IPD, together with Open Trade Gate Sweden, will introduce you to reliable suppliers from its partner countries.
We will be presenting an exclusive selection of reliable suppliers from Brazil, Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana, Ecuador, Madagascar, Colombia and Ukraine, offering high-quality cocoa products (cocoa butter, powder, paste and nibs), dried fruit, exciting sugar alternatives, and sweet and savoury delicacies.
We have personally visited and carefully vetted all IPD companies. In doing so, we take into account criteria such as product quality, export suitability and export capacity, as well as compliance with international standards and certifications.
Transparent supply chains without intermediaries are particularly important to us, so as to meet the due diligence requirements of the Supply Chain Act (LkSG). After all, our aim is to find trading partners for you with whom you can work successfully.
Detailed information on the IPD partners and their products will be available here from January in our clearly structured exhibitor brochure.
If you have any questions in the meantime, please do not hesitate to contact us:
