Exhibitor Information:

To help member companies meet retailers from the U.S. and Canada, PLMA organises its U.S. Private Label Trade Show in Chicago each November. Buyers from all major supermarkets, supercenters, drug chains, mass merchandisers, convenience stores, online retailers, importers, exporters, wholesalers, discounters, and even military exchanges participate.

No show offers exhibitors an opportunity to meet as many buyers from as many retail channels. That's why almost 85% of the show's exhibit space is renewed every year and overall exhibit space has been expanding 10% annually. Don't miss the chance to build your private label business.

The key to the show’s success has been the quality of the buyers who attend. In many cases, the visitors are directors of private label merchandising, marketing or procurement who can make important decisions. Over the last decade, the show has also become increasingly popular among retailers from Latin America, who come to Chicago to source for their expanding private label programmes.
