E.Wedel’s presence at SIAL Paris 2024

E.Wedel made a significant impression at the fair, welcoming guests at the 5B N144 booth, located in the hall dedicated to the confectionery industry. From morning until late evening, both new and current clients engaged in fruitful discussions with the E.Wedel Export Team. The booth was designed to reflect E.Wedel's rich heritage and commitment to quality, creating an inviting atmosphere that encouraged interaction.

Throughout the event, representatives were busy conducting meetings, sharing insights about market trends, and showcasing the unique qualities of E.Wedel's products. The enthusiasm from attendees was a testament to the brand's strong reputation and the quality of its offerings.

Highlighted products

One standout product that garnered considerable attention was Ptasie Mleczko®, known in English as "marshmallow." However, this is not typical marshmallow; its delicate texture, enveloped in a rich layer of chocolate, captivated even the most discerning palates. This unique confectionery is characterized by its light and airy filling, which sets it apart from traditional marshmallows. To enhance the tasting experience, E.Wedel's chocolate maestro demonstrated a unique consumption ritual involving chilled milk shakes, which added a refreshing twist to this classic treat. This innovative approach not only showcased the versatility of Ptasie Mleczko®, but also created an interactive experience for attendees.

Another major attraction was the engaging demonstration of cake decorating using Torcik Wedlowski. Attendees flocked to watch skilled pastry chefs create stunning designs, emphasizing the artistry involved in cake decoration. This hands-on experience allowed visitors to appreciate the creativity and craftsmanship that go into every E.Wedel product.

The Snack chocolates line also sparked interest, available in four enticing flavors: Cola, Salty, Popcorn and Bubble Gum that appealed to a wide range of tastes. These snacks, designed for both indulgence and convenience, represent E.Wedel's commitment to innovation in the confectionery sector. Each flavor is carefully crafted to provide a satisfying treat, whether for an afternoon pick-me-up or a late-night snack.

E.Wedel also showcased seasonal products, including festive offerings for Christmas and Easter, which further emphasized the brand's ability to connect with customers during special occasions. The allure of these seasonal treats not only caters to festive spirits but also drives sales during key periods in the calendar year.

Another notable highlight were Nadziana chocolates, particularly the Nadziana Karmelowa, which won over clients from all markets. These filled chocolates are a testament to E.Wedel's dedication to quality and flavor makes them a must-try for chocolate enthusiasts. The combination of rich chocolate and luscious caramel filling creates a delightful experience that keeps consumers coming back for more.

Innovative presentations and marketing strategies

SIAL Paris 2024 also marked the launch of E.Wedel's new product catalog in an innovative interactive online format. This approach reflects the company’s commitment to embracing technology in marketing. The presentation included a corporate film displayed on large screens, along with catalog presentations on tablets, ensuring that visitors had an engaging experience.

Throughout the event, E.Wedel emphasized the importance of sustainability and responsible sourcing in their operations. As consumers increasingly seek brands that align with their values, E.Wedel’s commitment to ethical practices resonated with many attendees. This focus on sustainability is crucial for building long-term relationships with consumers and partners alike.

The five-day event, held from October 19 to 23, served not only as a showcase for current offerings but also provided a platform for unveiling exciting new products set to launch in the first half of next year. Among these, a Raspberry and Mascarpone-flavored Ptasie Mleczko® is anticipated to delight consumers, alongside other innovative products that are still under wraps. This proactive approach to product development demonstrates E.Wedel's agility in responding to consumer trends and preferences.
