What is ISM Ingredients?
From 2026, the previous ‘World of Ingredients’ at ProSweets Cologne will be established in a pioneering new format within ISM. This essential area for the sweets and snacks industry, bundled in its own trade fair, will thus act as a link between ProSweets Cologne and ISM.

In view of rising raw material prices and global challenges, ISM Ingredients is putting the Raw Materials & Ingredients segment centre stage. The aim is to make the best and most innovative raw materials available to the sweets and snacks industry and thus sustainably increase the industry's competitiveness.

The new ISM Ingredients is aimed specifically at suppliers of:
