About DFW CPG

Founded in 2019 to bring together and serve the burgeoning CPG community in Dallas-Fort Worth, DFW CPG continues to experience general membership and founder-led company growth participation, which in turn is creating countless opportunities for collaboration, knowledge-sharing, and value-added networking.
Come join us for an in-person, or virtual meeting and see first-hand the caliber of talent and innovation that’s living and thriving in the Dallas Metroplex!

Our Mission

DFW CPG exists to cultivate the growth of DFW’s ecosystem for consumer packaged good businesses, starting with food and beverage. We serve as a catalyst for a thriving, impactful, and nationally recognized community that supports the community’s collective success.

By combining and sharing our strengths, our effort is aimed at enhancing the success of our members and the community as a whole through knowledge sharing, mobilizing resources, and community building.

We are grateful to our sponsors, ambassadors, CPG industry leaders, and advocates for their wisdom, insights, support, and participation. We look forward to many more years working together to elevate our Dallas-Ft Worth brands and the CPG business community.

We keep getting better, together!
