This issue of International Confectionery is now available digitally! Inside, you'll find an exclusive Big Interview with Carol Oldbury, Managing Director of Hames Chocolates Ltd, who was the recipient of the Company of the Year at Confectionery Awards for their dedication and commitment to sustainable growth.

Our chosen Innovators, Marc Fuchs, CEO and Bart Klinkenberg, CSO of TRIKNO took some time out at ProSweets 2024 to discuss how they are strengthening their position in the chocolate decorating space through the release of their Tempered Nozzle Technology, keeping an eye on growing markets and having optimism for the future ahead.

In an Ask the Expert, Tom Woods, Confectionery Product Sales Manager at Molded Fiber Glass Tray Company details how material matters and their expertise in offering composite starch trays.

In their Product Spotlight, CHOCOTECH showcases their expertise in guaranteeing success in product quality.

Technical Editor Clay Gordon discusses specialty coffee in relation to specialty chocolate in Inside View, interrogating why the former has flourished as a community while the same cannot be said for the latter.

Within our features, Sugars & Sweeteners explores how sugar reduction and replacement are not so simple as removing sugar altogether; Candy Processing takes stock of flavour trends and how important product finish is; Weighing and Detection covers how integral consistency and accuracy is to weighing equipment; and, finally, Wrapping Technology shows how wrapping tech is becoming sensitive to sustainable materials.

Many thanks to our contributors; Kate Kehoe, Marketing Executive, FMCG Gurus; Anne Hirsch, Head of Sugar Management Hub and Neus Arenas Sinisterra, Customer Market Lead Confectionery and Bakery & Snacks, Europe, Roquette; Bastian Hรถrmann, Global Marketing Director, Sweet Goods, Dairy & Specialized Nutrition, ADM; Klaudia Volmer, Product Manager Functional Fibres, BENEO; Ruby Rafanan, Senior Innovation Manager and Phillip DaSilva, VP of Business Development, Island Abbey Nutritionals; W***y van Arkel- van Arendonk, Senior Manager Business Development & Production Management, Corbion; Janne van Rangelrooij, Food Technologist and Manon Kerremans, Manager Tanis Innovation Center; Dr. Sandra Link, Product Manager, Syntegon; Simon Eggleton, Divisional Sales Manager, tna solutions Pty Ltd.; Torsten Giese, Marketing Manager - PR & Exhibitions, Ishida Europe; W***y-Sebastian Metzger, Director MarCom and Business Development, Minebea Intec; Fabio Tozzi, Sales Director, IMA Group; Chiara Fumagalli, Marketing Communication Specialist and Matteo Boncompagni, Product Manager, ACMA; Ernesto Gabrielli, Director Wrapping Business Unit, SACMI Packaging & Chocolate.
