Koelnmesse and its global ISM network aim to take the show, previously known as yummex Middle East, to the next level this year by improving the visitor and exhibitor experience.

At this year's event, more than 230 exhibitors from 37 countries presented their products and services on more exhibition space than at the previous trade fair in 2019.

More than 180 exhibitors from over 30 countries will present their products and innovations during yummex Middle East, set for Nov. 7-9 at the Dubai World Trade Center.

With the snack bar market expected to grow rapidly in the coming years, there is rich potential for agile, innovative manufacturers in the Middle East and North Africa.

Yummex Middle East 2019 will be held alongside Gulfood Manufacturing, the largest trade fair for food manufacturing in the Middle East, Asia and Africa, for the first time in three years.

Held at the Dubai World Trade Centre, yummex ME is held parallel to two other top events — Gulfood Manufacturing and a new event, Private Label & Licensing Middle East (PRIME).

More than 8,500 visitors attended 2018 Yummex Middle East, the leading trade show for sweets and snacks in the Middle East and North Africa.

More than 8,500 visitors attended 2017 Yummex Middle East, the leading trade show for sweets and snacks in the Middle East and North Africa.

Organizers of Yummex Middle East, formerly known as Sweets and Snacks Middle East, have announced the winners of the 2017 Innovation Awards during the show’s 11th edition, held Sept. 18-20 at the Dubai World Trade Centre.

It’s hard to believe that this week — yesterday, to be exact — marks my one-year anniversary as a full employee of Candy Industry Magazine. And what a year it has been.
