Private label manufacturers are making themselves crisis-proof. In cases of hardship, only uniform products should be delivered to all retailers, as reported by the “Lebensmittel Zeitung”. The reason for these considerations is the imminent stop in the supply of Russian gas.

The concepts each relate to individual manufacturers. They should not be introduced across the board. Essentially, they mean that there would only be one type of detergent, toothpaste, etc. The dealers apparently welcome the plans, although product variety is fundamentally important.

Another measure is to reduce the ingredients. Components that are currently difficult to deliver should therefore be deleted or replaced. Sunflower oil is a current example of this in food.

But there is also skepticism about these plans. Basically, this only makes sense for products with complex recipes and manufacturers with numerous different customers. In addition, it has already been shown how unpredictable the availability of raw materials is. Some industry experts therefore advocate more flexibility instead of standard goods.
