The future of private labels

The Private Label Manufacturers Association (PMLA) is inviting participants to the “PMLA round-table conference” in Cadiz, Spain, from 23 to 24 February. Trade experts and futurologists will be looking into the question of how the retail trade will develop over the next ten years, and how far the private labels will be influenced by this development. Among the speakers who have been invited to participate are Dr Fred Lachotzik, former head of Metro and founder of the Isabel O’Lacey private label, and Carsten Beck, director of research at the Institute for Futures Studies in Copenhagen.
