Newly formed trade association, PRFBA, makes debut
The Private Railcar Food and Beverage Association, Inc., recently announced its debut. This association, also known by its members as PRFBA, is pronounced “PERF-BAH,” and is comprised of 13 global food and beverage companies and manufacturers headquartered in North America.
In September of 2015, a group of 10 leading food and beverage companies got together for three days to discuss improvements to managing and utilizing their private railcar fleets. From this summit, the PRFBA organization was born. In January of 2016, the association became incorporated and 12 members joined officially as the “charter members”. Since that time, one more company has joined the association with several others in the works.
