TK-Report

TK-Report is the only frozen food trade magazine in the German language – for more than 50 years the communication platform for all sectors of the frozen food industry. Ten times a year with in-depth analyses, company portraits, market reports, interviews and trade fair coverage. Monthly product forums place the spotlight on individual product categories – from ready meals and snacks to meat, poultry and vegetables through to baked goods, desserts and ice cream. These are complemented by forums on the out-of-home market, branded and own-label products, and free-from. The annual February issue featuring the Tiefkühl Hits reader poll, together with the Anuga and trend issues in autumn, are established purchasing guides for the industry.
