Private Label International - Summer 2010

PLMA’s Annual “World of Private Label”

PLMA’s annual “World of Private Label” helps manufacturers and retailers build their private label programs with more than 3,200 Exhibit Stands and manufacturers from 65 countries.

For nearly 25 years, PLMA’s annual “World of Private Label” International Trade Show has brought retailers together with manufacturers to help them find new products, make new contacts, and discover new ideas that will help their private label programs succeed and grow.

Today, the need for new products, contacts and ideas has never been greater. Private label market share stands at its highest ever. The future promises even more private label as retailers expand internationally and take a larger role in marketing themselves and the products that they sell.

PLMA’s 2010 “World of Private Label” International Trade Show will present more than 3,200 exhibit stands including more than 39 national and regional pavilions. Products on display will include fresh, frozen and refrigerated foods, dry grocery, and beverages as well as non-food categories, including cosmetics, health and beauty, household and kitchen, auto aftercare, garden, and housewares & DIY. New this year is the PLMA Ingredients Pavilion.
