Last time iba was staged in person, it provided a platform for EUR 2.1 billion in trade fair contracts.
Five years later, anticipations run high for the industry’s first ‘official’ get-together in Europe since the pandemic. With exhibitors bringing their best and latest to the stand, we asked key industry players what news they are bringing to the Messe Munich, when the gates open to visitors for iba ’23 in October.

KEMPF
KEMPF is bringing its comprehensive portfolio of trays, pans, coatings and racks to iba – including new product releases. The special trays of its new group member, KeyBAKE, will also be showcased. Together, they can offer the full range of bakeware, said Guido Kempf, KEMPF CEO: “KeyBAKE brings deep knowledge in deep drawn- and special pans like bun trays, cake trays, muffin trays and customized tin sets. This is a very good addition to KEMPF’s portfolio, which includes baguette trays, perforated trays, peelboards, racks and high-performance, non-stick coatings.” KEMPF’s most requested products currently include trays and pans for fully automated lines, “lines in very precise and stable execution in combination with the best coating for the job,” Kempf adds.
“Sustainability starts in our production. Our new plant will be heated without any fossil energy sources. The roof will be covered with more than 9,000 solar panels. For our customers, sustainability means providing trays and pans that can reduce energy consumption in the bakery enormously as well as coatings with lower greasing requirements,” Kempf explains.
