“We are thrilled to be back at this year’s show,” said Declan O’Leary, president of Wilton. “This year marks so many exciting new endeavors that Wilton will showcase to attendees, including a redesign of our branding, a lineup of innovative new products and the introduction of our Wilton Sweet Studio that features world-class baking and decorating classes. From novice beginners to culinary artists, we intend to partner with our retail customers to inspire a new generation of bakers and decorators through trusted products, creative ideas and education.”
“We are excited to be back in Chicago after our last appearance in 2019,” said David Sereni, president and CEO of Bormioli Luigi Corporation. “For us, this show had always been very productive, with many customers attending. Then we had Covid, and it was not clear the trend for trade shows. After walking The Inspired Home Show last year, as well as seeing the long list of attendees, we decided to come back in 2025. Our impression is that buyers and business executives are back to the shows to see novelties and products, and we are looking forward to many meaningful meetings.”
“The Inspired Home Show is the optimal platform to showcase our iconic and category-leading brands and excite and delight our customers with the innovative products we plan to bring into the market,” said Klara Pithyou, VP of brand and product development at 1880 Retail, the makers of the Pyrex and Snapware brands.
