Information

PLMA’s World of Private Label in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, is the trade fair serving as a barometer of changes and trends in the sector. With retailer brands substantially increasing their market share throughout Europe the last year, the future of private label seems brighter than ever.

PLMA 2021 will take place on 18 - 19 May 2021 in Amsterdam RAI and is awaited with positive expectations by over 2700 exhibitors and 15,000 professional visitors.

Who can you meet there

The World of Private Label international exhibition is frequented by decision makers from some 120 countries. Retailers constitute a large percentage of them, albeit representing different types of establishments - department stores, super- and hypermarkets, discounters, drugstores, etc. During PLMA they connect with manufacturers operating with private label (either exclusively or in addition to the products for their own brand).
The appearance of more than 60 regional and international pavilions at PLMA Amsterdam proves the significance of the event on the global stage.

What makes it special

When it comes to opportunities, trade professionals in attendance are able to form partnerships, strengthen customer relations, find the right private label suppliers or new customers, gain information and exchange ideas.
Once again, The PLMA Matchmaker will enable participants to effectively organise their business meetings at PLMA 2021 Amsterdam. Other important features of the trade fair include PLMA's New Product Expo highlighting innovative products, as well as the PLMA Idea Supermarket where international retailers demonstrate their approach to private label products and packaging.

What is new for PLMA 2021

Unfortunately, the circumstances of the COVID-19 pandemic led first to the postponement and ultimately to the cancellation of PLMA 2020. Instead of an in-person meeting, the organisers are planning to introduce a virtual trade show alternative and a B2B video networking event. Details about them will be available soon, while the next regular edition of PLMA has been rescheduled for 18 - 19 May 2021.
