The Istanbul fair connects Turkish machinery and ingredient suppliers with buyers across the Balkans and Middle East, alongside international equipment brands. Attendance rose from 80,697 in 2022 to 92,482 in 2024, when visitors came from 118 countries. Its audience reaches beyond bread production to pastry, chocolate, ice cream and café operations.

The supplier mix brings factory equipment and the pastry counter into the same sourcing trip. Dough machinery, ovens, conveyors and packaging sit alongside bakery additives, cake decoration, refrigeration and foodservice equipment. That breadth suits bakery groups expanding production while developing their retail assortment, as well as specialist chocolate and ice cream businesses. The fair also gives importers a view of Turkish manufacturers and the distributors representing European machinery brands, with production technology forming the common thread.

How it compares

  3. This show: IBAKTECH International Trade Fair For Bakery, Patisserie Machinery, Ice Cream, Chocolate and TechnologiesYeşilköy İstanbul, every two years

IBAKTECH makes particular sense when the sourcing brief includes Turkish manufacturers or customers in neighboring markets. Its international visitor mix includes the Balkans, Iraq, Iran and Saudi Arabia, while the exhibitor offer spans dough processing, pastry ingredients, chocolate and ice cream equipment. A bakery group can weigh production investments and additions to its shop assortment during the same trip.

iba provides a wider global comparison of bakery production systems. It brought together 985 exhibitors in 2025, with suppliers across craft baking, industrial production and trade. For an industrial baker evaluating competing international lines or looking across the full bakery technology market, that depth can justify a separate visit. IBAKTECH offers a more concentrated route into Turkish supply and the regional markets served from Istanbul, while still including European brands through local representatives.

südback has a different center of gravity: bakery and confectionery operations, raw materials, merchandise, shop fittings and sales promotion. Its 562 exhibitors in 2024 make it a substantial comparison for an operator focused on the German bakery market. IBAKTECH's combination of Turkish machinery manufacturers and chocolate, ice cream and foodservice suppliers is especially relevant when the business crosses several of those product lines.

IBAKTECH is the right trip for bakery, pastry and ice cream buyers comparing Turkish production suppliers and building business across the Balkans and Middle East.

Who exhibits

The mix joins machinery specialists with suppliers to the finished pastry counter. Omidi Industrial Machinery covers bakery and dough equipment, while Robot-Coupe brings food preparation machinery and Lawer adds another equipment specialist. Pastasel spans bakery additives, ice cream and cake decoration; Jiaxing Yuean Foods represents DECOLAND in decorative products. Alongside those direct exhibitors, Turkish distributors carry international machinery brands. The result is a sourcing floor that connects production capacity, ingredient choices and the appearance of the final product.

IBAKTECH International Trade Fair For Bakery, Patisserie Machinery, Ice Cream, Chocolate and Technologies 2026

IBAKTECH 2026 moves the fair from its previous spring slot into autumn. The lineup keeps machinery and ingredients closely linked: dough and bakery equipment, chocolate technologies, ice cream, decoration, packaging and refrigeration all form part of the offer. International brands appear both as direct exhibitors and through Turkish representatives, including APUS İnovasyon and IRO Makina. For bakery groups and distributors, that creates a comparison between Turkish production suppliers and imported systems without losing the pastry and ice cream side of the business.

  • For imported production systems, APUS İnovasyon represents Royal Kaak, VMI and Diosna, while IRO Makina represents RONDO and MIWE. Include both distributors when comparing the European machinery offer.
  • If the project combines bakery production with an ice cream or pastry counter, compare Pastasel's additives and decoration offer with the machinery specialists. Jiaxing Yuean Foods adds DECOLAND's decorative products to that part of the visit.

Exhibiting

The application offers bare space and three shell scheme packages, progressing from walls, carpet and lighting to furniture and a storage room. Electricity, compressed air, water, cleaning and transport are separate items to arrange with the organizer. The combination of Turkish buyers and visitors from the Balkans and Middle East suits suppliers seeking production and distribution business across those markets.
