PLMA’s 2024 World of Private Label International Trade Show, which is scheduled on 28 and 29 May at the RAI Amsterdam Convention Centre, is the premier gathering for the private label industry for sourcing and business opportunities.
With a record-breaking 2,850 exhibitors representing over 70 countries, this year’s trade show promises to be larger and more dynamic than ever. An additional exhibit hall will be used to accommodate the strong demand for exhibit space.
The World of Private Label welcomes more than 60 national and regional pavilions. Among the new pavilions are: Dubai, Egypt, Georgia, Germany (Thuringia), Italy (Organic), Poland, South Korea, Thailand and the Netherlands.
The latest trends in food and non-food – including organic, plant-based and sustainable products and packaging – will be on display on the trade show floor.
The trade show is expected to attract more than 16,000 professionals; retail buyers from supermarkets, discounters, hypermarkets, convenience stores and specialty stores and more, from over 120 countries from all continents.
The show is appropriately themed “Connect. Source. Grow.”
One retail executive said the show provides the ideal opportunity to source new products and strengthen business relationships. “World of Private Label is a must-go and a recurrent happening for our company on our calendars.
We return every year,” the retailer said.
One of the popular parts of the trade show is the innovation and new product development area known as the Idea Supermarket. This section features private label ranges from 64 supermarkets, hypermarkets, discounters, specialty stores and drugstores around the world. Also in this area is the New Product Expo, which will feature 500+ new products developed by exhibitors. Plus, there will be a display of winning products from retailers that earned an award in International PLMA Salute to Excellence Awards for best private label product of 2024.
This year’s pre-show seminar programme will be enhanced by concurrent workshops that will be led by industry experts touching relevant topics in a smaller interactive setting. Participation in the seminars and workshops is free of charge to all registered retailers, exhibitors, visitors, and industry professionals.
