The Future is Here
There is a new retail revolution underway, and it’s going to affect the food industry across the globe over the next five years in ways we have never seen before. We’re talking about the development of private-label products and the new challenges that this will present for brands and manufacturers across the globe, as retailers develop and market their own products rather multinational name brands to meet changing consumer needs. equivalent to or substitutable for multinational brands. When consumers consider quality, many view private-label products as good and getting better. For example, we see this with the extensions into premium private-label products, where quality is very good. Examples include wine, specialty groceries, coffee, and prepared/ready-to-cook chilled meals of restaurant quality.

Co-Packers

Co-packers provide a manufacturing solution to commercialize products for retail sales. Choosing a co-packer is just one of many aspects in a brand’s product development. And, while this aspect is a part of the “back-end” of a product, it is probably one of the toughest areas to get right, to understand the intricacies and to work toward a successful manufacturing run. Quintessential Foods has 35 years of experience dealing with co-packers.
