“This type of exhibitions are very important because they present the market trends that mark the bakery sector. The first and the most important trend that we observe is the development, and this is very noticeable in Romania. This is because Romanian entrepreneurs are investing the most in the development. As regards the products, the most important tendency is the taste and freshness of the products, and in terms of technology, the tendency is the digitization and automation of production.”<\/em>\u00a0said UIBC Ambassador Ilonka Boldizs\u00e1r at the GastroPan Opening Ceremony.<\/p>\n The anniversary edition of GastroPan has brought many awards and surprises for visitors, as well as an anniversary area where special artistic pieces were exhibited by the most talented bakers, confectioners and chefs. The organizers thank the authors of these impressive works and the companies they represent for their continuous support in the development of the exhibition over the past 10 years. The organizers also thank for years of dedication to all the suppliers and partners who have supported the exhibition over the last 10 years by participating with extraordinary stands, practical demo shows, and by participating in the GastroPan Competitions.<\/p>\n In the GastroPan Anniversary Area innovative bakery and pastry products, artistic pieces of bakery dough, chocolate or sweet ginger bread and culinary sculptures were exhibited, all of which competed in a special competition category with the theme “10 Years of GastroPan”. The “10 Years of GastroPan” Anniversary Trophy was won by Moara Cibin, which created the most beautiful composition, an artistic piece made of sweet ginger bread that symbolizes the Centenary of the Great Union and the 10 years of GastroPan.<\/p>\n The majority of exhibitors say they have signed several contracts on the spot and already have significant sales of equipment, machinery, appliances and utensils. They were delighted with what they had achieved through this participation, and they said they intend to participate in next year\u2019s edition with an even larger exhibition booth.<\/p>\n As in previous editions, the organization of the exhibition was supported by the most important professional associations in the country (ROMPAN, ANAMOB, ANBCT and Euro-Toques Romania), but also internationally (UIBC – International Union of Bakers and Confectioners, WACS – The World Association of Chefs, the Central Bakery Association of Germany through President Michael Wippler).
