I’m in Hamburg, Germany 🇩🇪 today for the biggest, most globally connected and most exclusive event in the German Convenience- and Fuel Retailing industry. >150 invited guests from German retail and supplier companies gathered for networking and knowledge sharing at The Retail Marketeers‘ annual industry networking event, organised by Christian Warning We at NACS are proud to support this event as part of our worldwide NACS | Convenience Leaders Exchange Series. Thank you to Alvern Media GmbH for sponsoring our exclusive pre-event dinner for our most engaged industry supporters. Thank you to the speakers for sharing their international insights: - Dave Coombe , Gilbarco Veeder-Root - Brad Sandys , Techniche - Oliver Weerts , Kempower - Maurice Neligan , JOLT ENERGY - Axel Niesing , Anton Willer - Lorenz Kiene , Lühmann Gruppe - Dan Munford , Global Convenience Store Focus - Paul Bethke , Lemonaid & ChariTea - Michael Osborne , Gander - Tilo Hühn , ZHAW Zurich University of Applied Sciences - Vincent Vida ,upgrain - Henry Armour , NACS - Scott Annan Some of the learnings: - Healthy foodservice is not a niche, it’s a business driver - Retail crime is increasing and we need to prepare to make our stores safe work environments - just because a category is declining (fuel nicotine, …) doesn’t mean we stop investing. We just need to be smarter about it - e-fuels vs. bev: it’s not an either or but an and I am surely looking forward to next year‘s event.

Are you a name-brand grocery buyer or do you take a chance on lesser-known/store brands? Regardless of your preference, many buyers are clearly moving towards the latter. In fact, the private-label Food & Beverage Market is projected to increase by $43.9 billion at a CAGR of 6.43% by 2028. This is in part due to a global cost of living crisis, along with the fact that private-label options have substantially improved in quality in recent years. While in the past, it was hard to find quality products without the recognizable label, more and more store brands are emerging with comparable levels of quality. With hundreds of suppliers offering an extensive range of food and beverage products, White Label World Expo New York is tipped to provide opportunities to help your business expand its delicious range of products as well as being a pivotal location for developing relationships to conquer new markets. Here’s just some of our food & drink exhibitors setting up at this year's show: Lone Oak Coffee Co.

Had a great day at SIAL Paris today! 🌍 As the largest food and beverage trade show in Europe, SIAL brings together a truly massive crowd and showcases pavilions from all over the world, making it a hub for international business opportunities. From Europe to Asia, the Middle East to the Americas, the global presence here is impressive and a great reminder of how interconnected the food industry is. For companies looking to break into the European market, here are some quick tips on how to do business in Europe and maximize your time at SIAL: 1️⃣ Research your target market: Europe’s diversity means each country can have different tastes, regulations, and market conditions. Tailor your approach to local preferences. 2️⃣ Plan meetings in advance: With such a large crowd and so many exhibitors, it’s essential to pre-schedule key meetings to make the most of your time. 3️⃣ Leverage local partners: A local distributor or agent with market knowledge and regulatory expertise is crucial for smooth entry. 4️⃣ Stay on top of trends: Key trends I saw today include sustainability 🌱, plant-based innovations 🥦, and cutting-edge tech solutions in food production 💡.

Looking forward to sharing how value chain collaboration can drive private brand growth at www.africabig7.com this week. Private Brands - Why are these brands transforming innovation in a time of disruption? #AfricasBig7 Value Chain Solutions

Exhibitions and conferences. Do you still go to them? People that work in manufacturing industries are busier than ever these days. So we all have to use our time wisely. And that’s one of the reasons I don’t often attend conferences or exhibitions. They can be a bit hit and miss. And if it’s a ‘miss’, then that’s a day wasted. So I only go to a small handful conferences or exhibitions every year, either as an exhibitor or delegate. However, I attended an event yesterday that was definitely a ‘hit’. I had some really interesting, in-depth and insightful conversations at the Sustainable Food Factory exhibition 2024 #SFFE24 It’s a small conference compared to some, but it very much punched above its weight. I also managed to watch several of the presentations – there's some really clever, innovative and inspiring stuff is going on. So for me, it was an extremely good use of a day. Sustainability is really moving forward in food manufacture. It has to. Thank you to everyone involved in the setting up, running and organisation of the event – you did a brilliant job. And of course thanks to everyone I spoke to or who dropped by the HPS Product Recovery Solutions stand and had a chat. And if we haven't already - let’s connect! #foodindustry #foodproduction #foodmanufacturing #netzero #manufacturing #beverages
