Article 2: The world’s largest private label trade show in Amsterdam
On 19 and 20 May, the annual PLMA World of Private Label International Trade Show took place at the RAI Convention Centre in Amsterdam. As the world’s largest trade show entirely dedicated to private label products, it brought together more than 3,300 exhibitors from 80 countries. The event provided a unique opportunity for manufacturers and retailers to discover new products, network, and exchange ideas. SIG and Tetra Pak, both members of ACE Belgium, were also present at the show.
Other PLMA Activities
In addition to the trade show, PLMA organised a series of seminars and workshops on 18 May, focusing on the latest developments in the private label market. Topics included sustainability, consumer trends, data, and artificial intelligence.
Sustainability was also a key theme on the exhibition floor. Around 30% of exhibitors were active in the organic, vegan, and plant-based products market, reflecting growing consumer demand for products that are both healthy and sustainable.
Finally, collaboration between retailers and suppliers, as well as changing consumer behaviour, were among the central themes highlighted throughout the event.
