Materials Handling Middle EastThe 8th edition of the International Exhibition for Intralogistics, Warehousing, Supply Chain, Ports, Port Equipment – Products & Services

Join Materials Handling Middle East and give your business a big lift!

With a strategic geographic location between the eastern and western hemispheres, there is no doubt that the UAE is a world-class logistics hub. Major investments have been made in the development of warehousing & logistics infrastructure, making it a very attractive destination for international manufacturers.

After a successful trade show in 2013, Materials Handling is already geared up for the 2015 edition. By attracting a very targeted audience for the participating companies, Materials Handling Middle East has once again proved that this is a strong trading platform in its own right.

Materials Handling Middle East is the only exhibition of its kind in the region as it brings together supply and demand.

2013 Visitors3,370 visitors from55 countries

“It was particularly noted at this year’s Materials Handling Middle East that the visitors in general were of a quite senior level. The questions asked were both general enquiries and project specific, supporting the underlying upward market trend. The majority of visitors to our stand were there to enquire about live and potential projects, with many discussions based around site drawings and existing plant expansions.

Undoubtedly, this show is the focus for the Materials Handling Industry in the region, and serves to provide a platform for both suppliers and customers to meet and discuss business development. The exhibition certainly fulfils key objectives to reinforce existing relationships and extend further penetration into the market. FAMCO are certainly keen to pursue ongoing marketing opportunities with this exhibition.”

David Dronfield, General Manager, Storage & Handling Solutions, FAMCO
