We are thrilled to share our experience from the PLMA – Private Label Manufacturers Association Show in Chicago, USA. A truly record-breaking event!

This year’s show brought together 1,800 exhibitors from 60 countries across 3,000 booths (including 52 national pavilions!), hosting over 15,000 attendees from the store brand and retailing industries.

For us at AKVATERA, the event was especially valuable as it attracted all the key players in the U.S. retail market—our primary focus. We had meetings with potential partners not only from the U.S. but also from Brazil, Honduras, Germany, the Middle East, and beyond.

✨ One of the highlights? ✨ Connecting directly with a representative from Walmart and exchanging contacts—a crucial step forward!

Representing Akvatera on this global stage solidifies our presence in this region and underlines the strength of our products.

It was also heartwarming to meet so many Lithuanian expatriates running successful businesses in the U.S. Their surprise and pride in seeing Akvatera reach this level resonated deeply with us, sparking exciting conversations about potential partnerships.

Looking ahead, our participation isn’t just about showcasing what we’ve achieved so far. It’s also about paving the way for the future: in 2025, we are launching our new state-of-the-art wet food production facility, bringing substantial capacity to meet the needs of even the big players in the U.S. market.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth.

Our work doesn’t end here.

Now it’s time for follow-ups and building on these connections!
