Casalasco returns to the United States for the 2026 Chicago PLMA
We will be from November 15th to 17th at the main North American trade fair dedicated to private labels.
We return again this year to the PLMA in Chicago, the reference appointment in North America for the world of brands of the distributor. The 2026 edition, scheduled for November 15-17 at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, will bring together manufacturers, retailers, and distribution operators from around the world. Participation in the event is part of our Group's already consolidated presence in the North American market. Casalasco has been operating in the United States since 2009 through Pomì USA Inc., a New York-based company created to market and distribute Pomì-branded products in the United States. A direct presence that, over the years, has allowed us to develop in-depth knowledge of the market and build lasting relationships with the main distribution operators. At the PLMA in Chicago, we present a broad and versatile offering of Made in Italy products intended for co-packing and private labels: tomato and basil derivatives, sauces, sauces, condiments, and other solutions developed to meet the needs of international markets. It consists of three integrated supply chains, dedicated to tomatoes, basil, and peas, more than 800 contributing farms, five production plants, 70 packaging lines and over 2,300 references, our Group combines agricultural roots, industrial capacity, innovation and production flexibility. To our partners and customers we are able to offer entirely customized projects in recipes, formats and packaging solutions, accompanying them in the development of products designed for the specificities of the different markets and distribution channels. Participation in the Chicago PLMA therefore represents a strategic opportunity for us to consolidate the commercial relations already developed and create new opportunities in the United States and Canada, markets in which the distributor's brands continue to strengthen their role. The event confirms a strongly international dimension: the 2025 edition brought together over 1,900 exhibitors from 60 countries, with tens of thousands of products belonging to the main food and non-food categories.
