Super spreaders, hotspots, lockdowns: as a result of the continuing global spread of the Covid-19 pandemic, more and more events such as trade fairs and congresses are cancelled or postponed. Yet, actually, the new and further developments of the manufacturers should be communicated and presented so that those who are looking for appropriate solutions can find out about them and have access to them.

Trade magazines such as sweets processing are a tried and tested means of informing potential interested parties about the latest innovations – both in print and online. So, if you have something new to offer and would like to present it for advertising, please do not hesitate to contact us. We will make you an offer tailored precisely to your needs and wishes (contact: Rainer Lapp, r.lapp@sg-network.org). Use your and our opportunities to retain your existing customers and win new ones!

In terms of editorial content, we will also stay on the ball and introduce you to the Sollich company in our special section “Chocolate Production”. The provider of diverse production solutions for the confectionery industry, which we present in our “sp portrait” series, is celebrating his 100th anniversary this year.

In the “Ingredients” section, we will introduce you to Prof. Dr Andrea Büttner, the new head of the Fraunhofer Institute for Process Engineering and Packaging IVV in Freising/Germany. In an interview, the internationally recognized scientist provides information about the focus of her work, about her plans and about upcoming projects.
