SugarFactory at ibtm world

Follow SugarFactory to ibtm world

2016 was an amazing year for the SugarFactory team! The enthusiastic team has now welcomed its first international customer, and what a customer! In July, Daimler presented the self-driving city bus of the future from the Middenfabriek. This event also marked the first step towards the international market. To further raise its profile, SugarFactory will be presenting itself at ibtm world in the coming years.

[10-11-2016] SugarFactory, the capital city

SugarCity, the capital city where great events take place!
The IBTM team published an article mentioning Mexico City's infrastructure and airport as strengths. Two areas in which SugarCity also excels!
Located near Schiphol Airport, along the highway with a train station right outside the door. This ensures excellent accessibility. In addition, SugarFactory has its own grounds, which means that security can be guaranteed during the most exclusive events.

Our booth number has been announced! Just like our location in the Netherlands, we are easily accessible during the trade fair, centrally located on Hollandplein. You can find us at booth F30 during these days.

[September 22, 2016] Historical archive

Last week, we went in search of historical images of the old sugar factory. We delved into the archives and came across some beautiful photos and newspaper clippings. We also stumbled upon a website full of Halfweg's history. Below is a preview of the images we found; we will be happy to present the rest at ibtm world in Barcelona.
