Description

Everything for today’s supply chain operations – under one roof!

IMHX – the International Materials Handling Exhibition – is a must-see event for logistics professionals. Taking place only once every three years, IMHX is the UK’s premier logistics, materials handling and storage exhibition, showcasing thousands of products and services from right across the supply chain.

Recent research among IMHX visitors shows that the event is held in high esteem within the industry. An impressive two-thirds of respondents agreed that IMHX is the best place to find new suppliers and over 80% of respondents said that they or their colleagues planned to attend IMHX 2010. More than 70% had plans to purchase new logistics equipment in either 2011 or 2012, and 92% of these said that their visit to IMHX would influence their buying decision.

IMHX 2010 will provide visitors with a unique one-stop-shop for everything required in the modern warehouse. Not only will there be materials handling equipment – from forklift trucks to automated logistics systems – but visitors will also discover innovative and cost-effective ideas in racking and shelving; storage solutions; health and safety systems; software; pallets and palletising equipment; property; recruitment and training services; third party logistics; transport and distribution; flooring; packaging; handling system design; financial services; and warehousing.
