Treehouse Foods Inc's Comment on Competition and Industry Peers
We have several competitors in each of our segments. For sales of private label products to retailers, the principal competitive factors are product quality, quality of service, and price. For sales of products to foodservice, industrial, and export customers, the principal competitive factors are price, product quality, specifications, and reliability of service. We believe we are the largest manufacturer of private label salad dressings, non-dairy powdered creamer, powdered drink mixes, and instant hot cereals in the United States and Canada, the largest manufacturer of private label pickles, soup, and trail mixes in the United States, and the largest manufacturer of private label jams in Canada, based on volume.
Competition to obtain shelf space for our branded products with retailers generally
is based on the expected or historical performance of our product sales relative
to our competitors. The principal competitive factors for sales of our branded
products to consumers are brand recognition and loyalty, product quality, promotion,
and price. Some of our branded competitors have significantly greater resources
and brand recognition than we do.
Recent trends impacting competition include an increase in snacking and awareness
of healthier and “better for you” foods. These trends, together
with a surge of specialty retailers who cater to consumers looking for either
the highest quality ingredients, unique packaging, products to satisfy particular
dietary needs, or value offerings where consumers are looking to maximize their
food purchasing power, create pressure on manufacturers to provide a full array
of products to meet customer and consumer demand.
We believe our strategies for competing in each of our business segments, which
include providing superior product quality, effective cost control, an efficient
supply chain, successful innovation programs, and competitive pricing, allow
us to compete effectively.
