FPI brings together the entire value chain from raw material and machinery suppliers to packaging converters to foodservice distributors and finally foodservice operators/retailers. FPI’s supplier and converter members represent approximately 90 percent of the market in North America. These companies pay annual dues to the association and receive full benefits.
FPI’s distributor and operator/retailer members do not pay any dues to the association. They receive FPI’s newsletters, may participate in FPI’s events and best of all, can use FPI as a resource for all their questions related to foodservice packaging. It is FPI’s policy to comply with antitrust laws and all laws applicable to the activities of organizations such as ours.
