ISM Cologne guide: reaching confectionery and snack buyers

ISM is the annual sweets and snacks fair organised by Koelnmesse in Cologne. Chocolate, biscuit, confectionery, nut and savoury snack producers meet retail chains, importers, wholesalers and private label buyers. From 2027 it runs as a trio, together with dedicated formats for ingredients and for production and packaging technology.

What does the new ISM trio mean for visitors?

Koelnmesse has announced that ProSweets Cologne joins the ISM umbrella brand as ISM Manufacturing from 2027. ISM Ingredients, ISM Manufacturing and ISM Snacks & Sweets now take place together, so ingredient suppliers and machinery makers can appear on the same participant list as finished-product brands.

The organiser's 2026 closing release reported around 1,600 ISM exhibitors from 72 countries, 87% of them from abroad, around 32,500 trade visitors from 140 countries across all three formats, and a record 39 country pavilions from 29 countries and regions.

Who can a UK supplier reach through the list?

For UK confectionery and snack brands, ISM is a meeting point with European retail buying teams and with importers and distributors looking for products for their own markets. Since leaving the EU, UK suppliers will be asked about customs handling and labelling for EU markets, so it helps to have answers ready.

Buyers also ask early about food safety certification such as IFS or BRCGS, shelf life and on-pack languages. A short product file covering these points makes a first meeting more productive.

When should you start outreach for a late January fair?

ISM falls at the turn of January and February, so the run-up overlaps with Christmas trading and the holiday break. First contact between late November and mid-December, with a brief reminder in the first week of January, works best.

After the fair, sending samples and pricing within two weeks helps you catch the spring listing cycles of retail chains.

What rules apply to emailing German buyers?

In Germany, § 7 UWG requires prior express consent for advertising emails, including to businesses. For German companies, a phone call with a clear business reason, a letter or a meeting at the fair is the cleaner first step. If you are based in the UK, the UK GDPR continues to apply to how you handle personal data. Campaign emails go to each company's general address.
