Health conscious options are continuing to gain momentum in the snack food category, including 100 calorie/portion-controlled packages, high fiber/whole grain options, savory snacks that are low in fat and sodium and high in protein and natural/organic ingredients. Also topping the list of consumer preferences are product portability and convenience. Consumers are looking for quick, healthy solutions compatible with their grab-and-go lifestyles. Adapting to these changing consumer tastes presents a substantial area for growth for business-savvy snack food manufacturers.

Ensure your business is equipped to satisfy these growing consumer trends at IBIE, where you'll find the latest technology, resources and ingredients to increase your market share and stay ahead in this increasingly competitive marketplace. It all comes together September 26 - 29, 2010. Be here.

    “Every three years, our industry puts on the International Baking Industry Exposition (IBIE), which reveals the latest in baking technology. The biggest misconception about IBIE is that it's all about new equipment and systems. The truth is, a large number of the suppliers are component manufacturers. The latest in conveyor belts, lubricants and electronics always are found on the show floor, where the bakery maintenance manager can acquire some critical best practices that he can bring back to his bakery.”
