Candy-Food is pleased to announce our participation in SIAL Paris 2026, one of the major international food trade exhibitions bringing together food companies, manufacturers, distributors, retailers, importers, and industry professionals from around the world.

From October 17 to 21, 2026, the Candy-Food team will be in Paris to meet international buyers, introduce our latest candy and gummy products, discuss new product concepts, and explore OEM and private-label opportunities.

For Candy-Food, participating in an international food exhibition is about more than displaying products.

It is an opportunity to meet buyers face to face, understand different market requirements, introduce innovative confectionery concepts, present product samples, and develop long-term cooperation with customers across Europe and international markets.

We warmly invite importers, distributors, wholesalers, retailers, supermarket buyers, candy brands, food companies, and professional confectionery buyers to meet the Candy-Food team during SIAL Paris 2026.

Meet Candy-Food in Paris

Paris is an important meeting point for the European food and confectionery industry.

For Candy-Food, SIAL Paris provides an opportunity to connect directly with buyers who are looking for new candy products, differentiated gummy concepts, reliable manufacturing partners, and customized confectionery solutions.

At the exhibition, our team will introduce a selection of Candy-Food products developed for different retail channels and consumer preferences.

More importantly, we want to have practical conversations with buyers.

Are you looking for a new gummy candy supplier?

Do you want to introduce innovative candy products to your market?

Are you developing a private-label confectionery range?

Do you need customized gummy shapes, flavors, colors, or packaging?

Are you searching for an OEM candy manufacturer from China?

These are the types of product and sourcing questions our team can discuss directly with you in Paris.

Explore Candy-Food’s Gummy Candy Collection

Gummy candy is one of the key categories within Candy-Food’s confectionery portfolio.

Different markets have different expectations for texture, flavor, appearance, package size, and product positioning. For this reason, Candy-Food develops gummy products in a wide variety of shapes, flavors, textures, colors, and packaging formats.

At SIAL Paris 2026, visitors can explore innovative gummy concepts designed for modern retail, novelty candy, seasonal collections, impulse sales, gifting, and private-label projects.

Peelable Gummies

Peelable gummies combine a soft and chewy candy center with an interactive peeling experience.

Fruit-inspired concepts such as apple, mango, lychee, grape, strawberry, banana, lemon, and other fruit directions can create a distinctive consumer experience.

The peeling action adds an additional step before eating, helping transform an ordinary gummy into a more interactive product.

For European buyers, this format can be developed for novelty confectionery, children’s candy, seasonal products, social-media-friendly products, and differentiated retail collections.

Candy-Food can also discuss customized peelable gummy projects covering flavor, shape, color, package design, product weight, and private-label requirements.

3D Gummy Candy

Three-dimensional gummy candy combines recognizable shapes with colorful appearance and chewy texture.

Fruit-inspired designs can include pineapple, orange, strawberry, grape, mango, and other customized concepts.

The three-dimensional appearance gives the candy additional visual impact and can make it suitable for supermarkets, convenience stores, candy shops, gift packs, novelty collections, and seasonal displays.

For buyers looking for a distinctive candy range, customized 3D shapes, flavors, colors, packaging, and branding can be discussed with our team.

4D and Innovative Gummy Concepts

Candy-Food also develops innovative gummy formats for buyers who want something beyond conventional gummy candy.

Depending on the project, product concepts can include 4D gummies, filled gummies, sour gummies, fruit gummies, multi-layer gummies, novelty shapes, interactive candy concepts, and seasonal products.

The objective is to combine:

Attractive appearance + enjoyable texture + distinctive concept + practical packaging + commercial potential.

This approach allows buyers to develop confectionery products that are more closely matched to their target consumers and sales channels.

Discover Seasonal and Novelty Candy Concepts

Seasonal candy is another important opportunity for brands and retailers looking to create limited-edition products.

Candy-Food can develop seasonal concepts for occasions such as Easter, Christmas, Halloween, Valentine’s Day, and other promotional periods.

Seasonal candy can be customized through:

• Special shapes
• Seasonal colors
• Character designs
• Fruit flavors
• Interactive formats
• Gift packaging
• Limited-edition artwork
• Multipacks
• Promotional packaging

Novelty candy can also be developed around concepts such as mystery packaging, collectible shapes, playful characters, and interactive consumption.

For buyers, these concepts provide opportunities to create products that stand out during important retail seasons.

Candy OEM and Private Label Solutions

For international buyers, sourcing finished candy products is only one part of product development.

Many distributors, retailers, importers, and brands are also looking for products developed under their own brand identity.

Candy-Food provides OEM and private-label support for customized confectionery projects.

Our team can discuss product development from the initial concept through packaging and production.

Customized Flavors and Shapes

Different markets can have different preferences.

European consumers may have different expectations for sweetness, acidity, fruit flavors, shapes, packaging, and product presentation compared with other international markets.

Candy-Food can work with buyers on:

• Fruit flavor selection
• Sweet or sour profiles
• Customized gummy shapes
• 3D and 4D structures
• Peelable gummy concepts
• Candy colors
• Texture development
• Filled candy concepts
• Seasonal products
• Novelty candy
• Multi-flavor products

This gives brands and distributors more flexibility when developing products for their specific market.

Customized Candy Packaging

Packaging plays an important role in confectionery sales.

The package needs to communicate the product concept quickly while protecting the candy throughout transportation, storage, and retail handling.

Depending on the project, Candy-Food can discuss:

• Pouch packaging
• Box packaging
• Individual packaging
• Multipacks
• Gift packaging
• Seasonal packaging
• Retail-ready formats
• Private-label packaging
• Customized artwork
• Brand-specific packaging concepts

At SIAL Paris, buyers can introduce their existing packaging ideas or discuss completely new concepts with our team.

Why Meet Candy-Food at SIAL Paris 2026?

Choosing a candy supplier is not simply about finding a product.

International buyers also need to consider product consistency, communication, customization capabilities, packaging, quality management, documentation, production requirements, and delivery planning.

Meeting a manufacturer directly can make these conversations more efficient.

Discuss Your European Market Requirements

Buyers can introduce their target market, customer groups, product categories, preferred flavors, packaging requirements, and retail positioning.

Our team can then discuss suitable product concepts according to those requirements.

Review Candy Samples

Seeing and tasting samples provides a much clearer understanding of product texture, flavor, shape, appearance, size, and packaging possibilities.

At the exhibition, buyers can explore different candy concepts and compare product directions before deciding which products are suitable for further development.

You can bring your product concept and discuss:

• Product shape

A direct conversation helps us understand these requirements more clearly.

From SIAL Paris Meeting to Long-Term Cooperation

For Candy-Food, an exhibition meeting is only the beginning.

After meeting a buyer, the next stage may involve product selection, sample evaluation, customized development, packaging discussion, specifications, commercial requirements, and production planning.

A typical project can develop through several stages:

1. Discuss the buyer’s market and target customers.
2. Identify suitable candy categories.
3. Review product samples.
4. Select flavors and shapes.
5. Confirm texture, color, and product specifications.
6. Discuss packaging and branding.
7. Develop customized samples when required.
8. Confirm commercial and production requirements.
9. Move toward production and export.

This step-by-step approach allows buyers to evaluate the product carefully before moving toward larger purchasing decisions.
