31 MAY - 1 JUNE 2022 AMSTERDAM
The Private Label Manufacturers Association announces that its “World of Private Label” International Trade Show will be back in Amsterdam at the RAI Exhibition Centre on 31 May and 1 June. The show - themed “Connect. Source. Grow.” - is experiencing high interest in participation both from manufacturers and retailers.
“The industry looks forward to the dynamics of a live trade show, the buzz of doing business, touching, testing and tasting products, walking aisles, searching for new products and innovation, making new contacts and strengthening existing relationships,” says Peggy Davies, president of PLMA.
This year’s “World of Private Label” will be the place to be for the whole industry, including trusted private label suppliers and buyers from all over the world. The trade show floor will welcome more than 2.500 exhibitors of food and beverages, health and beauty items, household products, and housewares and DIY items. On display will be the latest consumer trends in food and non-food in view of health and sustainable choices, including environmentally friendly products, fair trade, free-from, vegan, vegetarian, organic and special dietary needs. The “World of Private Label” exhibition area covers all exhibit halls of the RAI Exhibition Centre. It will be divided over three main complexes:
• RAI’s Europa Complex is devoted to food products. • The Holland Complex has exhibitors displaying non-food products. • Park Complex accommodates both food and non-food exhibitors.
PLMA’s “Idea Supermarket,” a big attraction at the show, is back in its full grandeur showing retailers’ and manufacturers’ views on product development and innovation. It includes displays of new and inspiring private label ranges that have been launched in the last year by more than 60 retailers worldwide, as well as more than 500 new and innovative products offered by this year’s exhibitors. The winning products of PLMA’s 2022 International “Salute to Excellence Awards” will be displayed in PLMA’s Idea Supermarket as well. The Awards honour retailers for their commitment to their private label programme, and innovation and quality in private label.
One day prior to the opening of the trade show, PLMA will hold a seminar programme at the Forum Centre at the RAI. There will be presentations by industry experts as well as the announcement of the winners of the 2022 International “Salute to Excellence Awards.”

MARCA BY BOLOGNAFIERE IS BACK ON-SITE
12 - 13 APRIL 2022
BOLOGNA
With more than 900 exhibiting companies, the presence of Grocery Retail groups and national and international buyers, MarcabyBolognaFiere 2022 will reaffirm its credentials as the reference exhibition platform for the leading players in the Private Label sector, for both food and non-food products.
Marca by BolognaFiere has renewed the well-established partnership with ITA – Italian Trade Agency, that allows the participation of a substantial delegation of Buyers – from the most valuable international markets - interested in the best Made in Italy private label products.
On the occasion of MARCA 2022, BolognaFiere continues the International Buyers Programme, a financed plan devoted to category managers and buyers of international distribution chains, aimed at nurturing the B2B meetings between exhibitors and top international attendees (retailers and importers).
Marca by BolognaFiere offers an extensive hospitality package, including services and benefits to make the experience of the Fair more engaging and sociable:
MARCA BY BOLOGNAFIERE 2022 – DIGITAL SESSION
MARCA Digital Session will also be reconfirmed, to be held from 4th through 11th April, as a preview of the Fair, to meet exhibitors, discover what’s new and plan the agenda of the on-site event.
Last year, to face travel limitations imposed by the sanitary situation, MARCA by BolognaFiere concentrated all efforts and resources in an online event, Marca Digital Session. Given the good results, this Digital Session will be available again to create a preview of the fair, allow contacts between buyers and exhibitors and schedule appointments on site during the two very intense days of the Exhibition.
The Digital Session will also host virtual meetings for buyers who will not be able to attend in person, should travel restrictions persist for certain geographical areas.
MARCA Digital Session, scheduled from 4 to 11 April 2022, aims to increase the opportunities to establish new bonds with the many buyers who attend the Digital Preview through the video platform and start connections that can be developed during the course of the Fair, with B2B meetings that will take place either at the International Buyers Lounge or at the Exhibitors booths.
The Digital Agenda is hosted on the B2Match platform: it will include virtual-only sessions (4-11 April) and on-site only sessions (during the Fair: 12-13 April).
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Participants (exhibitors and buyers) can request one-to-one meetings according to their specific business interests (i.e. trade requests, country, product sector, etc) using the platform’s matchmaking system and advanced research filters Once meetings have been accepted and scheduled, they can take place online through the integrated video system and in person during the fair!
There is no additional charge for participation in the Digital Session for MARCA Exhibitors and Buyers.
