Where possibilities get their own label

At IFEX Philippines 2026, GMART served as a dedicated private label sourcing platform, bringing together Philippine companies offering private labeling, white labeling, and toll manufacturing and packing for local and international markets.

With 33 participating companies, GMART connected manufacturers with retailers, distributors, importers, and brand owners looking for reliable partners to develop their own-label product lines.

Across 80 B2B meetings, participating companies explored new business opportunities, discussed product and manufacturing capabilities, and connected with potential partners from different markets.

More than showcasing products, GMART opened conversations around what businesses could create, develop, and bring to market under their own label.

As we continue the , here's a look back at one of the platforms that made IFEX Philippines 2026 a space for discovering new possibilities and building connections that extend beyond the show floor.

We look forward to welcoming the industry once again at IFEX Philippines 2027, happening 20 to 22 May 2027 at the World Trade Center Metro Manila in Pasay City, Philippines.
