After a forced pandemic break last year, the two trade fairs for snacks and confectionery, ProSweets Cologne and the parallel ISM open their doors to visitors. From 30 January to 2 February, the two fairs will bring together a total of over 1400 exhibitors from the industry from all over the world on the 139,000 square metres of exhibition space at the Cologne Exhibition Centre.

This year, for the first time, Brabender GmbH & Co. KG will also be taking part in the ProSweets Cologne supplier fair for the first time and will be presenting measuring and process technology equipment for quality control and the development of confectionery and snack products: “We want to open up new markets in the confectionery and snack sector. Many existing customers associate Brabender primarily with solutions for the grain, flour, starch and bakery and pasta industries, although starch in particular is frequently used in the confectionery and snack food sector”, explains Markus Löns, Business Development Manager Food at Brabender. Starch is relevant, for example, in the extrusion of flips or fruit strings.

Brabender GmbH & Co. KG will be present at the fair with the TwinLab-F 20/40 twin-screw extruder for product and process development on a laboratory scale, the ViscoQuick and Convimeter II viscometers and the MT-CA moisture analyzer. Especially with the new ViscoQuick and
the TwinLab-F 20/40, applications are possible that can be specifically tailored to the individual requirements of the confectionery and snack food industry: “ProSweets is a good opportunity for us to get to know our customers’ needs better, to generate new solutions and to draw attention to our broad portfolio of application possibilities”, summarises Löns.

At ProSweets Cologne, Brabender will be present in Hall 10.1 at stand D030 and will show its range of products and services.
