The südback Trend Award is a prestigious accolade for technical innovations, design, and concepts in the baking industry. For the third time, industry professionals were able to vote online for their favorites and select a “People’s Choice” winner. The selection included around 20 nominated ideas, concepts, and technical innovations that had previously been chosen as worthy of an award by the high-caliber jury. They were presented on the südback website in the run-up to the trade show. Feedback from the market could hardly be more direct.

For the first time, the public jury’s vote matched that of the expert jury: Ringoplast also took the lead in the People’s Choice Award. This marks a first in the history of both awards.

Unanimous Vote in the “Marketing, Sales, and Organization” Category

Ringoplast impressed the expert jury with a system solution for bakery logistics that is as simple as it is clever: the AVENDO reusable rotatable stackable container. What makes it special: The container combines two previously separate standard transport heights used in bakery logistics into a single product. Businesses that previously relied on two different container types can now significantly streamline their fleet, use storage space more efficiently, and reduce transportation costs. The innovation addresses an everyday problem faced by many artisanal bakeries.

“We are very pleased to have won not only the Trend Award but also the People’s Choice Award. As a company that has been closely connected to the baking industry for many years, we have developed a new standard for the industry with our AVENDO rotating stackable container. We are all the more pleased that our concept impressed both the expert jury and the audience,” says Oliver Ende, Head of Sales at Ringoplast.

The südback Trend Award is organized by Messe Stuttgart. The Allgemeine BäckerZeitung (ABZ) and BÄKO-magazin support the competition as partners. Co-organizers include BÄKO-Zentrale eG and the Landesinnungsverband für das Württembergische Bäckerhandwerk e. V. Trade visitors can learn about the latest innovations at südback 2026 from October 24 to 27 at the Messe Stuttgart exhibition grounds.
