Private Label - Private Label Manufacturers Association

Private Label Manufacturers Association

The Private Label Manufacturer's Association (PLMA) categorizes PL manufacturers into 4 main categories:

  1. Large national brand manufacturers that utilize their expertise and excess plant capacity to supply store brands.
  2. 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.
  3. Major retailers and wholesalers that own their own manufacturing facilities and provide store brand products for themselves.
  4. Regional brand manufacturers that produce private label products for specific markets.

Famous quotes containing the words private, label and/or association:

    An affair wants to spill, to share its glory with the world. No act is so private it does not seek applause.
    John Updike (b. 1932)

    People who live in the post-totalitarian system know only too well that the question of whether one or several political parties are in power, and how these parties define and label themselves, is of far less importance than the question of whether or not it is possible to live like a human being.
    Václav Havel (b. 1936)

    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)
