Thinking big: IMHX 2019
19 November 2018
With more than 400 companies anticipated to demonstrate the latest technological developments that are shaping the modern logistics industry, IMHX 2019 (NEC, Birmingham, 24-27 September 2019) is set to be the biggest event so far in the long running IMHX series of materials handling exhibitions.
Many high profile exhibitors participate in the event, which will occupy some 376,000ft2 of exhibition space spread across four halls of the National Exhibition Centre.
IMHX 2019 exhibition director, Rob Fisher, comments: “Brexit has put supply chain issues at the top of every company’s agenda. It is forecast that in post-Brexit Britain businesses will have little choice but to hold more stock closer to the point-of-consumption and this means new storage sites will need to be built and existing units adapted where necessary to ensure that storage space is optimised.”
He continues: “This will require investment in new equipment and systems so there is every reason for the companies that manufacture and supply these products to be optimistic. This optimism is reflected in the high number of suppliers of intralogistics products and services that have committed to exhibit at IMHX 2019.”
Technology will feature strongly at IMHX 2019 and a Technology Demonstration Zone will be supported by AMHSA – the Automated Materials Handling Systems Association.
IMHX 2019 visitor registration is now open at www.imhx.net.
