Tijdens de PLMA-beurs in Amsterdam vroeg Sebastiaan Schreijen, analist bij Rabo Research aan diverse bedrijven naar hun belangrijkste inzichten over ontwikkelingen in de markt voor Private Label consumentenvoedingsmiddelen.

Once again, RaboResearch visited the Private Label Manufacturers Association's (PLMA) World of Private Label trade show in Amsterdam. This year, we interviewed visitors and exhibitors on the topic of innovation. Innovation is high on the agenda for anyone active in packaged foods. Brands have lost market share to private label, so they need to come up with new products to lure the consumer back. However, private label companies are responding by introducing new products as well. In this podcast, we hear from industry players on innovation in private label and how its done.

Wood Mackenzie has estimated the U.S. could have up to 380GW of DERs connected to the grid as soon as 2025, which represents tens of millions of new DERs. PLMA has invited two industry experts to help us explore the outlook for 2024, including opportunities and challenges they will be watching closely in the year ahead. Join us to learn more about: policy and regulatory changes that may affect DR and DERsthe role of VPPs in meeting peak demandthe evolving role of utilitiesthe growing impact of EVsaccounting for decarbonizationthe influence of global events and more!

Rocky Mountain Power (RMP) received PLMA's Technology Pioneer Award this Spring for their work partnering with rooftop solar customers to accelerate their transition to the renewable grid of the future. The Wattsmart Battery Program innovation journey started in 2017 as a partnership between the utility (RMP),  local developer and RMP customer The Wasatch Group, and Sonnen, a battery manufacturer. Together, they worked through policy and technical constraints to install over 600 batteries powered by solar to supply electricity to a 600-unit apartment complex called Soleil Lofts. The scalable Wattsmart Battery Program includes:Development of a Battery Grid Management System (BGMS) in partnership with Sonnen that allows RMP to connect with and dispatch customer-owned batteries to keep the power grid stable and avoid power outages.A BGMS that's connected to the western energy grid and automatically reacts in real-time (within 50 seconds), based on system needs. A Virtual Power Plant resource in partnership with Sonnen that allows thousands of small batteries to be controlled as a group, transforming distributed residential solar power into the equivalent of one large power plant resource.Join us to learn more about this innovative program, RMP's lessons learned, and its recommendations for others working on solar and battery initiatives.

In this episode, I'm riding solo as I excitedly shared my recent visit to the (PLMA) Private Label Manufacturers Association conference and discussed what it is all about. The conference was a transformative experience as it opened my eyes to the dynamic world of food PL. One of the biggest takeaways from the conference was the appetite these manufacturers for PL sellers.   In This Episode: [01:10] PLMA and what it is about. [01:50] Why is food as great as PL. [04:00] Importance of PLMA. [07:55] Biggest takeaway.

Gaining Maryland Public Service Commission approval in March of 2022, the SMECO FlexTemp Pilot moved quickly to stand up a flexible load management program directly associated with the management of smart thermostats, during both the cooling and heating seasons. The approach taken for the program was presented during PLMA's Spring 2022 Conference and was titled “Revenue and Emission Benefits of Managing Thermostats on a Sub-hourly Basis”.The FlexTemp Pilot builds on SMECO's innovative approach to utilizing smart thermostats, dating back to 2015, as one of the first utilities to provide incentives to customers for the installation of smart thermostats.The FlexTemp Pilot achieved considerable success in 2022 and proves it's possible to manage behind-the-meter assets as grid resources, and that devices can also support decarbonization goals and plans. Additional impacts include:The ability to group cohort members and schedule dispatches on a day-ahead basis.Development of procedures to group cohort members and schedule dispatches on a real-time basisLearning customer behavior, which allows for seasonality of customer cohorting.Optimization of members enrolled to dispatch events to achieve firm service levels.Optimization of members enrolled to dispatch events to achieve guaranteed load drop.Events called based on optimization of energy savingsEvents called based on optimization of capacity savingsEvents called based on optimization of GHG emission reductionAbility to dispatch on a real-time basis instead of day ahead basisMembers enrolled = 250+ with the expectation of exceeding 1,000+ by May 2023.Reduced member opt-out rate in comparison with traditional DR programs (~1.5% as compared to ~25%)kW/member saved on average per event: 1 kW

The Private Label Manufacturing Association (PLMA) trade show in Amsterdam is the largest private label event in the world. As always, the Rabobank consumer foods team pays a visit. And, like last year, we asked companies in attendance for their views. Last year we spoke mostly about challenges in the supply chain. This year we talked about the gains in market share in private label. Because of inflation, times are tough for some consumers, who start buying more private label products.  We asked companies how they are faring – and unsurprisingly, most are selling more volumes. But we also asked about the future: What's in store for private label? At the end of the podcast we share our takeaways from two exciting days at the event. Spoiler alert: It is all about price, price, price!

It's no secret private label brands are experiencing a strong surge during these times of high food prices. During the first three months of this year, store brands picked up right where they left off in 2022, with double-digit sales increases and greater market share in both dollars and units, according to nationwide data provided to PLMA by Circana (formerly IRI and NPD). The figures include 2023 food and non-food sales in all outlets as of March 26.“The Q1 results are particularly impressive since they are compared to 2022 sales figures, which were historically high for U.S. store brands,” said PLMA President Peggy Davies. But how long will this growth continue? In this episode of SN Off the Shelf, Senior Editor Bill Wilson talks with Tom Prendergast, who is the director of Research Services for PLMA, about the current rise in private labels and if it is sustainable beyond inflation.Take a listen.Have a pitch for the podcast?

Everyone welcome!

PLMA's World of Private Label es la feria anual de marcas privadas que reúne a minoristas y fabricantes para encontrar nuevos productos, hacer nuevos contactos y aprender acerca de nuevas ideas para ayudar a su crecimiento empresarial. Es una oportunidad única para presentar nuestra empresa a un perfil potencialmente propicio para nuestro negocio (minoristas, supermercados, grandes almacenes, etc.). Para los oyentes que no tuvieron la posibilidad de estar presentes en este evento, en este episodio Stefano Gasperini nos hace un resumen de lo que se vivió en los stands y las enseñanzas que adquirió tras su visita. Para adentrarnos en la temática, el etiquetado privado es la práctica de vender un producto fabricado por una empresa bajo la marca de otra empresa. “Un ejemplo es Walmart que tiene un montón de tiendas y clientes que compran diferentes productos. Walmart revende muchos productos de distintas marcas. Ve qué se vende, crea un producto bajo su marca mediante el cual tienen mayores márgenes y lo vende a través de su canal de ventas”, cuenta nuestro anfitrión. Según relata Stefano, el evento contaba con empresas pequeñas y hasta multinacionales. El 99 por ciento de los stands eran fabricantes que tienen una línea de productos bajo su marca y muchos de ellos ya tienen canales de ventas establecidos. “Todos estaban ofreciendo venderte sus productos para que lo puedas vender bajo tu marca”, asegura nuestro host. “Esto ofrece una oportunidad a personas que están buscando crear sus propios productos. Entonces si eres bueno distribuyendo o haciendo crecer productos, a lo mejor ahí puedes conseguir personas con las cuales trabajar. Hay muchos revendedores de Amazon y es un evento excelente para conseguir cuentas, porque al final todas esas compañías quieren hacer crecer sus marcas también”, destaca. Tal como decíamos en el primer párrafo, este tipo de eventos no solamente sirve para encontrar nuevas oportunidades para nuestro negocio, sino que también nos enseña varias lecciones que debemos tener en cuenta para evitar la mayor cantidad posible de errores. Uno de los aprendizajes que tuvo Stefano fue que “no necesitas un producto revolucionario para ser exitoso si tienes un buen canal de ventas”. “En mi opinión es muy importante que cada negocio tenga un muy buen producto y buenos canales de venta. En este evento, uno consigue acceso a muy buenos productos, que ya están probados por el mercado y a la gente le gusta. Si quieres agregar o quitar algún ingrediente lo puedes hacer”, resalta Stefano, y agrega: “Si uno ya tiene un buen canal de ventas, ahí hay una oportunidad grandísima. Hay diferentes canales de ventas, como Amazon, Youtube, cuenta de Instagram, tienda física o quizás el acceso a distribuidores”. La segunda lección aprendida es que “probablemente valga la pena aprender a venderles a distribuidores, sobre todo cuando se trata de comida”: “El porcentaje de ventas de retail que suceden online en la industria de comida es sólo un 13 por ciento, que ha estado creciendo, pero aún hay más de un 80 por ciento de las ventas que suceden en tiendas físicas, por lo que es una oportunidad enorme. Si uno ya tiene presencia y una línea de productos online buena, valdría mucho la pena aprender cómo entrar a estas tiendas físicas, y los distribuidores pueden ser una excelente manera de hacerlo”, desarrolla Stefano, y añade que “si uno tiene una buena relación con estos distribuidores conviene preguntarles si hay un producto que tú le pudieses ofrecer a ellos”.  El tercer aprendizaje se basa en la importancia de “saber qué es lo que ya existe en el mercado y hacia dónde está yendo la industria”. Por eso, es crucial asistir a eventos como PLMA. “Tienen muchas empresas cuyos stands están siendo atendidos por el fundador o personas con mucha experiencia y puedes hablar con ellos”, recalca Stefano. La última lección nos enseña que “fabricar marcas privadas para otros retailers es un buen modelo de negocio”, aunque esto es para negocios más desarrollados. “Cuando tenemos exceso de capacidad para fabricar productos de otras compañías, podemos apalancarnos de toda la infraestructura que ya tenemos para crear una nueva línea para nuestro negocio y ventas adicionales”, finaliza Stefano.

Duke Energy was recognized by PLMA for its Thought Leadership in advancing numerous successful demand response programs across its territory. Its DR team manages these programs for all rate classes in five states, each on its own path to achieve the company's goal to be carbon neutral by 2050. Demand response will play a critical role in getting there, balancing load against intermittent renewable generation and pushing usage from peak. Join us to learn more about Duke's work in DR and energy reliability.

In September of 2021, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), due to findings of “unjust and unreasonable” market rules that present barriers to DER aggregations in RTO/ISO market, issued Order number 2222 titled: “Participation of Distributed Energy Resource (DER) Aggregations in Markets Operated by Regional Transmission Organizations (RTOs) And Independent System Operators (ISOs).”Since that time, this order has had two “Rehearing Orders” (2222-A and 2222-B) issued, while compliance filings have also been submitted by the ISOs/RTOs. The goal of the order is to enhance competition by removing barriers to participation of DER aggregations into the RTO/ISO markets, and to ensure these markets produce just and reasonable rates.PLMA's 4-part series on the pivotal FERC Order 2222 discusses it from a variety of viewpoints.Part 1 of the Series: “Overview and Compliance Process Update,” is presented by FERC staff members David Kathan and Nichole Businelli. This session will form a foundation for the succeeding conversations where several market participants will share their plans and perspectives as we plan for a “post FERC 2222” marketplace for DER aggregations.

Manufacturers from around the globe gathered in Amsterdam at the end of May to showcase their products at the Private Label Manufacturers Association trade show. Sebastiaan Schreijen and Cyrille Filott were on the scene asking food & beverage producers about the hot topic of the moment: the supply chain. Sebastiaan and Cyrille asked five exhibitors five questions about their supply chain challenges, including risks, strategy, and sustainability. The answers they received were definitely unexpected.

In this "fireside chat" with Jill Anderson, Executive Vice President of Operations at Southern California Edison, and hosted by PLMA's Women in DM Affinity Group, we will discuss the art of creating diverse, high performing teams that build on different perspectives and experiences in order to drive the clean energy transition. Jill discusses her own career path, her lessons learned along the way, and how she has used her unique perspective to develop and lead open, collaborative teams. 

Hoe lastig is het om in 2022 nog met een interessant foodproduct op de markt te komen? Voorop blijft staan dat het lekker is, maar het moet ook gezonder, duurzamer en je moet rekening houden met de stijgende grondstofprijzen. Om over de producteisen vanuit de retail nog maar te zwijgen. In deze podcast hoor je hoe drie producenten met de uitdagingen omgaan.

Co-moderated by PLMA's Global Load Management Interest GroupGuest Speakers: Lisa DeMarco of Resilient LLP [Canada],Tom Howes, Head of Energy and Environment, International Energy Agency [Paris]Thursday, March 3, 2022 | 12:30 to 1:30 pm ETPricing carbon emissions has been widely recognized as the most efficient means to reduce GHGs while also driving innovation. Join PLMA's Global Load Management Interest Group and experts from both Canada and the International Energy Agency in Paris as we explore decarbonization systems, how they are performing to date, the lessons others are learning about carbon pricing, and what opportunities exist for the U.S. In one example, Canada's widely supported carbon pricing forecasts it will reduce 50-60 MT of emissions in 2022. This represents ~12% of all Canadian emissions.

In this discussion, Michael Brown and Catherine Morehouse will discuss Utility Dive's interviews with power sector experts who are tentatively predicting big changes for the year ahead. Join us to learn what we might expect from the new administration, and how its approach will potentially affect policymakers, regulators, utilities, and other stakeholders.

At the end of May, news reached us that Brian Sharoff, president of the Private Label Manufacturers Association (PLMA), had sadly passed away. Brian led the PLMA for almost 40 years – and as loyal listeners might recall, we interviewed him for our ‘PLMA Live’ episode, which we launched after the 2019 Amsterdam PLMA show. For this new episode, in memory of Brian, Maria Castroviejo and Cyrille Filott interview Rabobank analyst Sebastiaan Schreijen on the past, present, and future of private label in food. At the end of the episode, we revisit the piece we recorded with Brian last year.

Gain key insights from the results of a PLMA survey conducted in partnership with Guidehouse to assess COVID-19 impacts on load management programs, especially for the upcoming summer months. The purpose of this survey was to collect information and disseminate insights on how utilities are adapting to changes/challenges from the COVID-19 crisis in terms of managing their Demand Response resources and how load management programs are being modified to adapt to the changes.

Welcome to SN Off the Shelf, a podcast series from Supermarket News. In this twice-monthly feature, SN editors talk with industry executives, experts and other grocery players about the news, trends and issues that matter most to retailers and their business partners. At the Private Label Manufacturers Association’s 2019 Private Label Trade Show, Supermarket News got a chance to talk with longtime PLMA President Brian Sharoff, who has led the 40-year-old organization since 1981.

At the PLMA in Amsterdam, the world's largest private-label exhibition, Consumer Foods-to-Go host Cyrille Filott talked to a number of exhibitors to understand the current key themes in private label. The larger companies that the exhibitors represent also challenge suppliers in the sector across many categories. It became very apparent that consumer-facing innovation is on the agenda more than ever before – the consumer is demanding it, and the retailer is asking for it.
