IBAKTECH 2026: Bigger. More Diverse. More Efficient. 

 

IBAKTECH, the only global trade fair for the baking, pastry, and confectionery sectors in Eurasia, is preparing to once again shape the future of the industry with its 15th edition. Following consultations with industry stakeholders, the fair has been rescheduled from spring to autumn and will take place at the Istanbul Fair Center from October 14–17, 2026.

With a larger exhibition area, more brands and exhibitors, a broader international visitor profile, and expanding business opportunities, IBAKTECH 2026 will offer an outstanding platform for trade, networking, and industry development.

 

 

IBAKTECH 2026 will expand with one additional hall and take place across 7 halls with a total exhibition area of 80,000 m². This growth will bring together more exhibitors, global brands, and cutting-edge technologies, creating a stronger and more dynamic meeting point for the industry.

 

Thanks to its expanded exhibition space and the increasing diversity of exhibitors and visitors, this year’s edition will offer even greater opportunities to build new partnerships, access emerging markets, and explore investment opportunities. IBAKTECH aims to maximize commercial value and business outcomes for every exhibitor and visitor.

 

The fair will host a wide range of international brands and exhibitors. Already attracting visitors from 118 countries, IBAKTECH continues to strengthen its global reach through extensive international promotion activities. Special visitor programs are being organized in key target markets, particularly in Africa, Russia, and Central Asia, further enhancing the fair’s international profile.

 

2024 Exhibitor’s Statement

   

Hasan ÖZMERMER, Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors - ÖZMERMER UN

“Participation was very high once again this year at the industry's undisputed most important fair. Seeing that not only us, but all other participants had been preparing for a long time with great care showed the importance of the fair once again to the visitors. At this fair, not only the domestic market but also international export markets brought foreign visitors to our stand. It was a productive event with intense participation. Everything was very well organized. The fair will continue to grow in future years. Being present at this fair is very valuable to us. We thank everyone involved.”

 

Semih Bayraktar, General Manager - EKMAŞ

“The IBAKTECH fair is the most prestigious and largest fair related to our sector in our country. Globally as well, IBAKTECH is among the highly demanded fairs. Leading companies in the bakery machinery, ice cream, and chocolate technologies sectors take part in IBAKTECH and contribute to the development of the sector through continuous innovation. Visitors coming to the fair can see many of the products they need on site and make the right purchasing decisions. The broad domestic and international visitor profile makes the IBAKTECH even more valuable.

At the fair, all the product groups we manufacture received great interest. We received orders from many countries abroad and contributed to our country’s exports through the IBAKTECH fair. After the fair, we entered a production period of approximately four months. This is an indication of how well the fair was planned and executed. There is no doubt that IBAKTECH will continue to grow and organize even stronger events each season. Among the fairs that are important for brand and product promotion in our sector, IBAKTECH holds a leading position. Additionally, IBAKTECH is the place where participants interested in the product groups exhibited at the fair can find all the machinery and equipment they need in one place. After a very successful and busy fair that was in line with our company’s goals, we extend our thanks to everyone who organized, managed, and contributed to the IBAKTECH.”

“The IBAKTECH fair, which we participated in between April 24–27, 2024, was extremely fruitful. At the fair, we had the opportunity to meet with industry leaders, business partners, and potential customers. This event allowed us to both strengthen existing relationships and establish new business collaborations.

We thank all our guests who visited our stand. Their great interest and positive feedback further increased our motivation. We look forward to working together on future projects.”

“First of all, we would like to thank all our friends and customers who visited us and did not leave us alone at the 2024 IBAKTECH Fair. IBAKTECH is a very valuable fair for us. Thanks to it, we get the chance to meet all our colleagues in the industry, promote our brand, and reunite with our partners. At the same time, we would like to say that we had a productive fair period by establishing new connections with international customers visiting from abroad.

We are very happy with the intense interest shown in our Spiral Mixer group, which we have worked on meticulously and received great feedback on, as well as in our new dough portioning machine from our latest production line.

While we continue to promote the quality of MATAŞ in Africa, Australia, Russia, and the European Union markets and approximately 85 countries, our future target includes entering the American market.”

 

Bülent TANRIVER, CEO -  TANRIVER MÜMESSİLLİK

 “We, as TANRIVER MAKİNE, took our place at the IBAKTECH 2024 fair held between April 24–27, alongside the leading companies in the sector. The great interest shown in our company at the fair met our expectations. We would like to express our satisfaction with the services provided by the organizer and their attentiveness to our company. We are confident that we will participate with the same excitement in future fairs.”

 

Dominique Anract, President - UIBC - International Union of Bakers and Confectioners

“Even during my international visits, I had heard about IBAKTECH and was very curious. I am very happy to be here today and to have visited the fair personally. I also met the President of the Turkish Bakers Federation. Bread is a very important and traditional product in Turkey. There is much we can learn from each other regarding the making of bread. In France, we have registered the baguette and its preparation as UNESCO heritage. I believe Turkey also has many such products that could be registered as heritage.”
