More than just baking

During over twenty years of its history, Modern Bakery Moscow managed to establish itself as the leading international specialized trade fair for the bakery and confectionary market of Russia and the CIS countries.

More than 15,000 expert visitors from 43 countries attended the exhibition in 2014. Not only Russian representatives of the bakery and confectionary market were amongst the guests of Modern Bakery Moscow, but also experts from the CIS and non-CIS countries. Moreover, there
was a significant increase in the number of visitors compared to the numbers in 2013.

Such popularity of the trade fair also was due to a great increase of exhibitors, where both major companies and market leaders, and new developing enterprises, were equally represented.

instance, production of curd products with various properties for confectionary production, public catering enterprises, and manufacturing of semi-finished food. The company will also present dietary fibres for confectionary, meat and dairy industry at the exhibition.
