The anniversary event received 37,000 professional visitors from 148 countries and hosted 1,774 exhibitors from 76 countries. In addition to significant German trade representatives, Walmart, Carrefour, Costco, Schwarz Gruppe, Tesco, Aldi, Edeka, Rewe, Amazon and Walgreens were among the biggest buyers, importers and distributors of sweets.
Fourteen Hungarian exhibitors attended the event, including several members of the Hungarian Confectionery Manufacturers Association.
