After opening its own Customer Center of Excellence in Aurora, Ill., this past summer, Planteneers traveled to nearby Rosemont, Ill., and exhibited at this year’s Private Label Manufacturers Association 2024 Trade Show. Using Booth #F413, it demonstrated how its ingredient blends work in everyday plant-based food products. 

Planteneers joined the No Meat Factory company at their booth to highlight the great partnerships that can be created between ingredient suppliers and co-manufacturers and how those partnerships can make product creation easier.
