Trophy Nut display a variety of flavored peanuts.
The assortment features a host of flavors including Fitness Mix, Java Blend, Mountain Mix, Antioxidant and Pub.
Swiatkowski noted that business for the Akron, Ohio-based company, which celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2022, continues to grow as retailers seek out innovative new products as part of their effort to expand private brand assortments.
At Trophy Nut, Bob Wilke, executive vice president, echoed Swiatkowski’s comments, noting that his company also continues to see growth in private brand sales.
“We continue to work with retailers, taking their requests for new products,” he said. “But they are also looking to us for innovation and to develop flavor profiles that their national brand suppliers don’t offer.”
Among the new products on display from Trophy Nut at the Chicago show was an assortment of peanuts in a variety of flavors: jalapeno, chili lime, hot & spicy, honey roasted and salted.
