LogiMAT will return stronger than ever in early 2019 to reassert its role as the world’s leading information platform and “working” trade show—where the intralogistics industry goes to do business.

The event will extend into Hall 2 for the first time, integrating another nearly 5,000 square meters to accommodate the strong demand for more exhibit space. One of the focuses here will be “Innovation Made in Germany,” a shared booth where start-ups will present innovative products and solutions in the areas of distribution, material flow, and software/IT.

Toyota Material Handling Deutschland will also be on hand alongside its affiliate Vanderlande Industries, occupying 600 square meters as an anchor exhibitor. In addition, there are well-known companies such as Helge Nyberg, AutoStore and Itoh Denki in Hall 2.

Another highlight in Hall 2 will be TradeWorld, the Professional Platform for Trade Processes. TradeWorld exhibitors will showcase products and solutions for the digitization of e-commerce and omnichannel trade processes while experts offer presentations on cutting-edge issues of trade logistics in the TradeWorld expert forum. In this way, TradeWorld demonstrates the unique synergies between trade and logistics processes within LogiMAT.

Exhibitors from the fields of plant engineering and conveyance technology will be on hand as usual in Halls 1, 3, 5, and 7. Here, too, LogiMAT has responded to the growing interest of exhibitors by extending the exhibit space into the gallery in Hall 1.

Forklift trucks and accessories, driverless transport systems, battery and energy management solutions, crane and hoist technology, and cargo securement will be located once again in Halls 7, 9, and 10.

The broad field of packaging, packaging systems, and containers will return to Halls 4 and 6, right next to the area for identification technology and RFID along the southern flank of Messe Stuttgart. Intralogistics software solutions will be showcased in Halls 6 and 8.

“We’ve heard from many exhibitors who want more booth space in 2019 compared to the previous year. So far, we’ve managed to persuade our customers that LogiMAT’s focus on diversity is in the interests of its visitors. This can only succeed if our exhibit space grows at a healthy pace,” remarks LogiMAT’s new Exhibition Director Michael Ruchty from event organizer EUROEXPO Messe- und Kongress-GmbH. “We find it exciting when our exhibitors include both global players and smaller enterprises. The ability of visitors to directly compare these offerings side by side is what makes LogiMAT so unique. We’ll remain true to this concept going forward.”

The 17^th International Trade Show for Intralogistics Solutions and Process Management will once again offer professionals from the manufacturing and commercial industries a complete overview of the latest trends in products and solutions in 2019. LogiMAT helps visitors make wise investment decisions, and the high quality of the accompanying program provides valuable guidance for responding to current and future needs. This reaffirms LogiMAT’s mission of offering “Intralogistics from the Source: Intelligent—Efficient—Innovative.”
