What to expect on the ISM Middle East floor
ISM Middle East – Sweet & Snacks Middle East runs 3 to 5 November 2026 in Dubai, drawing confectionery suppliers, ingredient producers, and finished-goods brands from across Europe, Asia, and the MENA region into a concentrated trade floor. With exhibitors spanning finished candy, gum, biscuits, and upstream ingredients, walking the hall without a plan risks spending the most productive morning hours in the wrong section.
The five companies featured in this guide, TROLLI GMBH, Yupi Indo Jelly Gum, Cafosa Gum S.A., Batook Chewing Gum Industries, and AACHENER PRINTEN- UND SCHOKOLADENFABRIK HENRY LAMBERTZ GMBH & CO.KG, represent a cross-section of the show that is useful to buyers who need to compare finished gummy and jelly confectionery alongside chewing gum lines and the gum base inputs that underpin them, with a distinct stop for premium European biscuit and gifting formats. Grouping these visits reduces the need to retrace steps and lets a buyer cover ingredient and finished-product conversations in a single focused session.
Why these exhibitors
A route that covers four distinct buyer jobs in one hall
The five companies in this guide are not presented as the only relevant exhibitors at ISM Middle East 2026, but they address a specific and coherent set of sourcing jobs. Buyers procuring finished gummy candy for Gulf retail or convenience channels have two distinct supplier profiles to compare in TROLLI GMBH and Yupi Indo Jelly Gum. Confectionery manufacturers and R&D teams sourcing gum base inputs will find a focused ingredient conversation at Cafosa Gum S.A. Buyers building impulse or convenience confectionery ranges for MENA distribution have a chewing gum production source in Batook Chewing Gum Industries. And retail or gifting buyers looking for premium European biscuit and confectionery assortments have a separate, clearly differentiated stop at AACHENER PRINTEN- UND SCHOKOLADENFABRIK HENRY LAMBERTZ GMBH & CO.KG. Together, the five stops cover ingredient sourcing, branded finished goods, and premium gifting formats without significant overlap.
How to use this Shared Spotlight
Download the hall map before you arrive Hall 1 is the confirmed location for this set. Cafosa Gum S.A. is confirmed at stand C1-28. Save or print the floor plan so you can orient yourself at the entrance and move directly to anchor positions rather than scanning row by row.
Anchor on the confirmed booth first Start at Cafosa Gum S.A. at C1-28. Using a confirmed stand number as your entry point lets you establish your position in the hall and then navigate outward to the surrounding exhibitors in the order listed.
Work through finished-goods stops in sequence After the ingredient conversation at Cafosa, move through TROLLI GMBH, Yupi Indo Jelly Gum, and Batook Chewing Gum Industries while the gum category is fresh. This keeps comparable sourcing conversations back to back and makes supplier differentiation easier to assess on the spot.
Close with the biscuit and gifting stop End the route at AACHENER PRINTEN- UND SCHOKOLADENFABRIK HENRY LAMBERTZ GMBH & CO.KG. The premium biscuit and gifting category is distinct enough from the gum and gummy cluster that saving it for last avoids context-switching mid-route and gives you a clean mental break before post-floor review.
Floor-planning tip Block the first two hours of day one, roughly 10:00 to 12:00, for this five-stop route, before the aisles reach peak density and while supplier representatives are most available for substantive conversation.
TL;DR
5 stops worth planning
Suggested floor route
Anchor at C1-28, then sweep gummy and gum before closing on biscuits
Starting at the confirmed Cafosa Gum S.A. stand at C1-28 and moving through the gummy and chewing gum cluster before finishing at the Lambertz biscuit stop keeps related categories adjacent in the walk order and avoids crossing the hall more than once.
