27,375 Visitors from 52 Countries Met with 75 Exhibiting Companies
One of the most comprehensive events in the region for the bakery, patisserie, ice cream and chocolate sectors, BAKERY PLUS – Trade Fair for Bakery, Patisserie Machinery, Ice Cream, Chocolate and Technologies became a key meeting point where industry-shaping innovations were showcased. Held at ATO Congresium in Ankara between 16–19 October 2025, the fair welcomed 27,375 visitors from 52 countries and 75 exhibiting companies this year.
Organized by Messe Stuttgart Ares Fuarcılık, the event highlighted next-generation production technologies shaped around the themes of sustainability, efficiency and customization. Throughout the fair, a wide range of innovative technologies was introduced—from an ice machine that prevents water waste through sustainable production, to a domestically produced ravioli machine with a production capacity of 350 kilograms per hour. Visitors experienced forward-looking solutions shaping the future of the industry, ranging from personalized cookie machines to probiotic yeasts and handmade chocolate boxes.
Commenting on the success of the fair, Ufuk Altıntop, General Manager of Messe Stuttgart Ares Fuarcılık, stated: “Organized for the sixth time this year, BAKERY PLUS has become one of the most important trade platforms of the sector in the region, attracting strong interest not only from Türkiye but also from the Balkans and the Turkic Republics. The transformation taking place in food technologies is making production processes more efficient, environmentally friendly and sustainable. The products exhibited during the fair once again showed us that the bakery of the future is shaped not only by taste, but also by technology. The machines we saw at BAKERY PLUS 2025—featuring water and energy savings, zero-waste production models and smart systems—are clear indicators of this transformation. While our exhibiting companies introduce Türkiye’s manufacturing strength to the world, we at Messe Stuttgart Ares are proud to serve as the meeting point for these success stories. Next year, between 14–17 October 2026, we will welcome the sector in Istanbul at IBAKTECH – International Trade Fair for Bakery, Patisserie Machinery, Ice Cream, Chocolate and Technologies. Through our BAKERY PLUS and IBAKTECH fairs, we will continue to showcase Türkiye’s strength in food technologies both in Ankara and Istanbul.”
Bringing together technology, design and taste, BAKERY PLUS continues to shed light on the future of the baking industry.
