südback 2026: Norwegian bakers and confectioners travel together to Stuttgart

südback in Stuttgart is the leading annual bakery and confectionery trade fair in the German-speaking region. For Norwegian bakeries, confectioners and patisseries, südback offers the right scale: accessible, focused and aligned with the equipment profile most Nordic bakeries actually work with.

Why a coordinated trip works

Travelling as a group brings two clear benefits: better logistics (we handle flights, hotel and ground transport so you focus on the fair) and a stronger professional network back home. Norwegian bakers who travel together build relationships that last well beyond the trip — and the trade fair itself is a shared reference point for years afterwards.

What to focus on at südback

südback has a strong artisan focus, with equipment scaled for small to mid-sized bakeries. Highlights typically include new oven technology, automation of repetitive tasks (rolling, weighing, cutting), gluten-free and free-from ingredient developments, and the increasingly important sustainability track — energy efficiency, packaging and ingredient sourcing.
