Kevin Buck, president and CEO of the NFL, which is an independent affiliate of the FPA, said the merger would provide substantial opportunities for growth in the NFL’s work in supporting innovation and new product development, as it becomes part of the nation’s largest trade association serving the food, beverage and consumer packaged goods industry.
“The merger of our parent company with GMA provides unprecedented opportunity for the food industry to tap into a creative, fast-moving product commercialisation firm,” Buck said. “Our mission is to deliver successful new strategies and value-added products, to execute those strategies quickly, and to support our clients’ products through their lifecycle with cost-effective and practical technical support.”
Founded in 1976, the NFL’s activities include new product strategy and concept development, product innovation and commercialisation, sensory evaluation, consumer research, food safety, quality assurance and analytical testing.
