International
Dedicated to private labels, the PLMA's Private Label Trade Show connects manufacturers with American retailers. The next edition will take place in November 2026 at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center, near Chicago.
PLMA's Private Label Trade Show: the meeting place for private label brands
Exhibitors present their production capacities, innovations, and certifications to buyers from supermarkets, drugstores, and retailers developing their own brands. Food, beverages, personal care, and non-food items are covered.
Organized by the PLMA (Private Label Manufacturers Association), the format encourages qualified meetings regarding volumes, specifications, and prices. For a European manufacturer, it is an effective gateway to North American retailers.
Donald E. Stephens Convention Center: at the gates of O'Hare
Located in Rosemont, very close to O'Hare Airport, the center is surrounded by hotels and restaurants. Buyers can schedule back-to-back meetings without losing time.
The show is driven by appointments: the booth design must prioritize quality of communication. Venue regulations for handling, electricity, and setup should be anticipated.
Booths for private label manufacturers: our perspective
A private label booth must prove reliability: organized range, finished packaging, visible certifications, and meeting tables. Our booths are manufactured in France and exported via our Montreal office.
