CPG, distribution, retail execs share experiences, insights in FMI Midwinter panel
Major inventory disruptions and the simultaneous boom in online shopping brought by the COVID-19 pandemic will reshape the grocery supply chain going forward, consumer packaged goods (CPG), retail and distribution executives said in a panel discussion at the FMI Midwinter Executive Conference.
Session moderator Thom Blischok, chairman and CEO of CPG and retail advisory firm The Dialogic Group, said “the unparalleled impact of COVID-19” on food and beverage retailers and manufacturers now nearing 12 months caused an “interruption in the way we do business” and has “necessitated a fundamental restructuring of the retail and manufacturing environment as we see it today.”
