Sept. 28, 2012, Munich – Iba 2012, which recently wrapped up in Munich, gave 70,000 bakers, confectioners, caterers and decision makers from the food retail sector a glimpse of the future, report show organizers in a news release.

Iba press news says the show also set a new benchmark: 1,255 exhibitors from 58 countries provided a comprehensive market overview that has been given top ratings by visitors from the industry. Of the visitors, 94.5 per cent agreed that Iba's range of products is one of a kind and rated it "excellent" to "good". Visitors hailed from 177 different countries.

"Our expectations have been exceeded by far," said Peter Becker, president of
the German Bakers' Confederation (Zentralverband des Deutschen
Bäckerhandwerks), in the press statement. "On the one hand, we have had more foreign visitors at Iba. On the other hand, I am particularly pleased that so many German bakers have attended the most significant trade show in their industry. Everyone has seized the opportunity, which only arises once every three years, to gain a comprehensive overview of the market. Nowhere else will you find such a wide choice of different companies."
