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:

    ... it is a commonplace that men like war. For peace, in our society, with the feeling we have then that it is feeble-minded to strive except for one’s own private profit, is a lonely thing and a hazardous business. Over and over men have proved that they prefer the hazards of war with all its suffering. It has its compensations.
    Ruth Benedict (1887–1948)

    There is no such “condition” as “schizophrenia” but the label is a social fact and the social fact a political event.
    —R.D. (Ronald David)

    In this great association we know no North, no South, no East, no West. This has been our pride for all these years. We have no political party. We never have inquired what anybody’s religion is. All we ever have asked is simply, “Do you believe in perfect equality for women?” This is the one article in our creed.
    Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)
