The Specialty Food Association (SFA), a longstanding champion for food industry visionaries and the host of the bi-annual Fancy Food Shows, announced the association’s complete rebranding effort. SFA’s new vision to ‘Shape the Future of Food’ will serve as an umbrella to an array of educational, networking and research offerings designed to better serve the needs of its growing membership.
The newly redesigned SFA logo, an imperfect circle, captures the constantly shifting and evolving industry and the limitless effects that food and drink have on our culture and everyday lives. The logo also represents the association’s 360° approach to nurturing and introducing new specialty food products and companies into the marketplace.
Founded in 1952, the SFA’s earliest days were at a time of burgeoning American demand for international goods and global flavors. Since then, and especially through the Fancy Food Shows, countless domestic and international brands have launched in the US market under the auspices of the SFA. In fact, throughout its 67-year history, the association has acted as a catalyst for many of today’s most iconic food entrepreneurs and tastemakers, propelling countless brands into the U.S. marketplace and helping take American companies global. Brands such as Walker’s Shortbread, KIND Bars, Tate’s Cookies, Vitamin Water, Stonewall Kitchen, Jelly Belly, and Ben & Jerry’s to name a few, have all been SFA members.
Now, with plans to build a membership of not only food producers but buyers, distributors, and affiliated businesses too, the SFA is leveraging its strengths to convene a vital, modern community of food. The rebrand will amplify the association’s established success and promote a dynamic new Specialty Food Association.
