Private Label Manufacturers Association
The Private Label Manufacturer's Association (PLMA) categorizes PL manufacturers into 4 main categories:
- Large national brand manufacturers that utilize their expertise and excess plant capacity to supply store brands.
- Small, quality manufacturers who specialize in particular product lines and concentrate on producing store brands almost exclusively. Often these companies are owned by corporations that also produce national brands.
- Major retailers and wholesalers that own their own manufacturing facilities and provide store brand products for themselves.
- Regional brand manufacturers that produce private label products for specific markets.

Famous quotes containing the words private, label and/or association:
“There is no private house in which people can enjoy themselves so well as at a capital tavern.... No, Sir; there is nothing which has yet been contrived by man by which so much happiness is produced as by a good tavern or inn.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
“The formation of an oppositional world view is necessary for feminist struggle. This means that the world we have most intimately known, the world in which we feel “safe” ... must be radically changed. Perhaps it is the knowledge that everyone must change, not just those we label enemies or oppressors, that has so far served to check our revolutionary impulses.”
—Bell (c. 1955)
“With all their faults, trade-unions have done more for humanity than any other organization of men that ever existed. They have done more for decency, for honesty, for education, for the betterment of the race, for the developing of character in man, than any other association of men.”
—Clarence Darrow (1857–1938)
