PLMA Private Label Trade Show

Description Forty-one percent of American shoppers now describe themselves as frequent store brand buyers, up from 36% just five years ago. Moreover, nearly one out of three consumers say that they are more likely now than a year ago to buy private label. In fact, the popularity of store brands in supermarkets is having a halo effect on home/office, household, and DIY products. On the food side, the show floor includes fresh, frozen and refrigerated foods, snacks, beverages, ethnic specialties and gourmet lines. On the non-food side, the show includes paper, plastics, wraps and foils, all types of kitchen and household products, health and beauty, DIY and GM. There's also PLMA's Idea Supermarket with the latest examples of what supermarkets, drug chains and mass merchandisers around the world are doing with their private label programs. Retailers from Europe, Asia and South America are all represented as well as chains from the U.S. and Canada. Plus, PLMA's New Product Expo highlights innovations in product concepts, ingredients, and packaging from this year's exhibitors. The PLMA Trade Show will be held at the Rosemont Convention Center, only 10 minutes from Chicago's O'Hare International Airport. More than 1,300 companies from 40 countries will be exhibiting their products, including 25 international pavilions. Exhibitors range from small and medium-size companies to well-known national brand makers who also supply store brands.
