Perishable products now make up over 51% of every dollar spent by the consumer in a supermarket. The margin of profit is far greater in perishables than in any other category...and it continues to grow every year.
The industry can keep current with the trends, new products, packaging, programs, changes and technical advances that are so dynamic in today's market place through the projects, publications and activities of the EPPA - your trade association.
That's what we are here for...to serve you, our members, with the guidance of our Board of Directors and the hard work of our volunteer committees. While we are a regional association, we have gained national and international recognition because of our trade show, news bulletins, newsletters, seminars, college interns and other services.
We are proud of our 30 years of service which you, our valuable members, continue to play such an important part.
