Informa Names Sixth Annual SupplySide CPG Editor's Choice Award Finalists

Top CPG Products Named for Innovation and Market Impact

PHOENIX, Arizona (PRWEB) August 21, 2017

Informa Exhibitions announced the finalists for its sixth annual SupplySide CPG Editor's Choice Awards. Five consumer packaged goods (CPG) products were selected by the SupplySide editorial team for achievements in innovation and market impact in 27 categories.

"SupplySide West is where science and strategy intersect to drive new product innovation to market," said Heather Granato, vice president, content, Informa Exhibitions. "This year's awards nominees truly demonstrated innovative thinking in meeting consumers' demands, and delivered cutting-edge products with strong value propositions."

One winner in each category will be announced at SupplySide West 2017 during the SupplySide CPG Editor's Choice Awards Presentations, set for Sept. 27 and 28 at the Mandalay Bay Resort in Las Vegas, Nevada.

"With just shy of 400 nominees for this year's competition, it was challenging to narrow the field to only five products for each category shortlist," Granato said "These products and companies are driving the market forward with products that deliver on all fronts—efficacy, marketing position, taste and value."

For 21 years, SupplySide has helped dietary supplement, food, beverage, personal care, cosmetic, animal nutrition and pharmaceutical professionals find information to explore, discover, innovate and market their next best-selling product.
