PUNTOITALY No33 - January 2023

FAIRS TOUR A chronicle of the trade fairs visited by puntoItaly during its travels abroad. A first-hand reportage of meetings, emotions, and experiences. puntoItaly wire By Davide Pini SÜDBACK - GELATISSIMO Stuttgart (Germany), 22 - 25 October Inebriated by the irresistible fragrances of pastry and bakery that permeated the exhibition centre of this German city, we visited the various stands with the aim of “gathering” the moods of the public and exhibiting companies. We had no doubts: everywhere there is a renewed desire to invest and restart businesses at full capacity. Over 35 thousand professional visitors who flooded the exhibition halls were able to experience first-hand the most recent developments regarding ingredients, products, technologies, furnishings and equipment in the dynamic bakery arts industry. And commercial trades did not take long to arrive. There was also considerable interest for Gelatissimo, the area dedicated to artisanal gelato organized within the Südback 2022 context. The rich program of collateral initiatives featured a full calendar of in-depth events held at the Bäcker-Trend-Forum and the Konditoren-Trend-Forum. Expectations were high for the allocation of the Südback Trend Awards, dedicated to innovations in the industry. Among the winners, a digital system that regulates CO2 levels during production and a line of completely natural fruit purees that do not require refrigeration, greatly simplifying production. The dates for the next edition have been confirmed, scheduled for October 26 - 29, 2024. 30
