PLMA Global will provide a convenient, secure and information-rich platform where retailers from the U.S., Canada, Europe and Asia can engage with current, former and prospective private-label suppliers.

The Private Label Manufacturers Association has canceled its January 2022 Private Label Trade Show in Chicago due to the ongoing effects of COVID-19 on business travel. 

Originally planned for Nov. 14-16, the rescheduled show will be held in-person at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Chicago.

PLMA says it could not host the in-person event “in light of continuing uncertainties concerning the health and safety of participants at large-scale, in-person gatherings.”

Consumers are willing to spend more money — but only for products that they perceive as having a good value.

With the entrance of online behemoth Amazon and German discount retailer Lidl into the U.S. grocery market, its fate — and associated opportunities — were on the minds of exhibitors and attendees of the 2017 Private Label Trade Show, hosted by the Private Label Manufacturers Association (PLMA) in Rosemont, Ill. this week (Nov. 12-14).
