Gellert Global Group to Showcase Global Sourcing, Private-Label Expertise at PLMA 2026

ELIZABETH, N.J. — Gellert Global Group (GGG) will showcase its global sourcing capabilities and private-label expertise at the Private Label Manufacturers Association’s (PLMA) PLMA 2026 Trade Show, taking place Nov. 16–17 at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, Illinois.

A Strategic Partner for Global Sourcing

With products sourced from more than 60 countries, GGG helps retailers build compelling store-brand programs from the ground up. Its end-to-end capabilities span supplier selection and quality assurance, logistics, market testing and customized product development.

GGG works with retailers to identify the right product, producer and country of origin for each program. Its portfolio spans specialty discoveries and everyday staples across branded and private-label offerings, giving retailers the flexibility to address multiple price points, shopper needs and merchandising strategies.

“We source from almost every major region in Asia, South America and Europe,” said Dan Tufano, chief revenue officer, Retail Center Store, Gellert Global Group. “There isn’t one best origin. The right source depends on the retailer’s goals and consumers, and that’s where we help them win.”

Products Featured at PLMA 2026

GGG’s exhibit will highlight opportunities across several high-interest retail categories:

• Tuna and seafood: Tuna remains the foundation of GGG’s business, supported by decades of private-label experience. The broader assortment includes tinned fish, salmon, sardines, smoked seafood and frozen fish, with options ranging from everyday value to premium.
• Frozen fruit blends: Convenient, ready-to-blend combinations designed for breakfasts, snacks and other everyday occasions.
• Frozen desserts: Globally inspired treats, including French crème brûlée and Korean soft cheesecakes.
• Frozen vegetables: Retail staples and plant-protein options sourced with an emphasis on consistent quality and dependable supply.
• Shelf-stable fruit and vegetables: Globally sourced canned and jarred produce packed to private-label specifications for consistent quality and year-round supply.

Premium Brands That Inspire Private-Label Innovation

Alongside its private-label capabilities, Gellert Global Group will showcase select portfolio brands, including Casa Flores, a premium line of tapas-inspired products imported from Spain.

Two Casa Flores products — Yellowfin Tuna Ventresca with Spanish Orange and Wild-Caught Octopus in Harissa Sauce — have been selected for PLMA’s New Product Expo Display within the World of Ideas, located in the convention center’s main lobby. The products will be prominently featured for attendees throughout the show.

“Shoppers now want premium flavors, not just low prices,” said Maria Roemer, director of business development. “Many retailers test specialty brands like Casa Flores, then trade shoppers up in their own label with higher-grade species, extra-virgin olive oil and bright flavors like lemon, herbs and chiles.”

Attendees can meet with GGG at Booth No. F1046 to discuss branded and private-label programs tailored to their customers, categories and business objectives.
