Day 1 Underway at PLMA 2026

The HANNON Transport team is in Amsterdam today for the opening day of PLMA’s “World of Private Label” 2026, taking place at the RAI Amsterdam Convention Centre.

PLMA remains one of the most important international events for the private label sector, bringing together retailers, manufacturers, sourcing specialists, and supply chain partners from across Europe and beyond.

The event provides an excellent opportunity to connect with businesses operating across FMCG, chilled food, retail, and consumer goods supply chains.

Supporting Ireland–Europe Supply Chains

HANNON Transport supports manufacturers, importers, and retailers with high-frequency logistics services between Ireland and mainland Europe.

Our services are designed around the operational demands of modern private label supply chains, including:

• Groupage (LTL) and full load (FTL) services
• Temperature-controlled transport for chilled and frozen products
• Daily connections between Ireland and mainland Europe
• In-house customs support and UK landbridge expertise

With operational hubs across Ireland, the Netherlands, and France, HANNON provides reliable transport solutions that help businesses maintain consistent supply into retail and distribution networks.

Meeting with Retailers and Manufacturers

Throughout the event, the HANNON team will be engaging with:

• Retail sourcing teams
• FMCG manufacturers
• Food producers and distributors
• European logistics and supply chain partners

Discussions are expected to focus on transport reliability, lead times, customs processes, and maintaining efficient flows between Ireland, the UK, and mainland Europe.

Built Around Frequency, Flexibility, and Control

Private label supply chains require dependable transport capacity and operational flexibility.

HANNON’s European services are built to support these requirements through:

• Frequent departures between IE / XI and NL, BE, FR, and DE
• Dual-temperature capability for mixed consignments
• Real-time Track & Trace visibility
• Own fleet operations providing full service control

These capabilities help customers manage supply efficiently across multiple European markets.

The HANNON team is looking forward to a productive two days in Amsterdam.
