Why Your Visit Is Worth It

Intralogistics is a field that’s still in rapid development, and LogiMAT reflects this quality with its expensive scope and scale, which is reflected in the last edition’s attendance record. Once you see the numbers, you’ll know for sure that there’s no other event to take care of your needs than this:

• 1600+ international exhibitors from 42 countries showcased at the event;
• 250 first-time exhibitors
• 61,000+ international trade visitors made the trip;
• 120,000+ square metres of exhibition space used.

Industry Relevance

LogiMAT is an annual trade fair that’s on a meteoric rise, as is shown at every single following edition. The event takes place in Stuttgart and boasts the title of the largest annual logistics fair on the territory of Europe. Not a bad accomplishment for an event that’s been on the scene since only 2003. What has contributed to its spectacular expansion? 

LogiMAT demonstrates a full commitment to the entire value chain and a strong vision to change the future. The product portfolio zeroes in on the most important technology and product segments - materials handling and storage technology; warehousing and operational equipment; packaging, weighing and measuring; loading technology, loading systems; ground conveyors and accessories; information and communication technology; order-picking systems; labelling and identification.

We’re in a new era of change and technological revolution and LogiMAT certainly reflects these changes by looking into the advancements associated with digitalisation, interconnectivity, big data and artificial intelligence. How can tools like virtual reality, 3D printing and sensors find their application in the age of Industry 4.0. Plus, the exhibitors often present solutions on the biggest challenges of the day. Such an issue is the crisis in packaging materials. On one hand, companies have to deal with rising costs of materials, packaging, transport, and energy. On the other, there’s a greater conversation about sustainability. Exhibitors will showcase low-impact materials and recyclable packaging.

Who Are You Going to Meet?

Because LogiMAT provides a comprehensive market overview based on the product selection as well as the line-up of technical forums, it’s not surprising to learn that the trade fair attracts the chief decision-makers in Europe and from abroad. The breakdown of visitors based on distance is the following – 35.5% came from more than 300 kilometres away (this accounts for the German visitors), 20% came from abroad and among that 9.5% from Asia or elsewhere overseas. You’ll meet fellow exhibitors from India, Japan, Korea, New Zealand, Taiwan, Australia, Canada, China, and the United States alongside established European players. The majority of visitors also have decision-making functions, placing them at a little over 86%.

Their main goal is to look for new solutions and establish partnerships with suppliers such as Locus Robotics, Dematic, Heureka, Sparck Technologies, Setlog, BYD Forklift Europe, BEUMER Group, Cargoclix and SpaceFill. Visitors represent a wide variety of economic sectors. You’ll mainly meet with representatives from the industry sector followed by wholesale, retail, forwarders and carriers, handcraft and other service providers. 

Additional Value of Attending

Many professionals attend LogiMAT specifically for the expert forums. There’s a good number of colleges and universities, public agencies and organisations that have a presence at the trade fair. The expert forums perfectly merge the business and academic communities, and receive a lot of coverage from the industry press. There’s something for everybody during the 14 lecture series held over the course of all three days. Over 60 experts line up to deliver their findings on a broad subject of market and technological trends. 

The themes are many and varied. You’ll learn about the place of artificial intelligence in all major sectors, how to optimise order picking and processing workflows, automation and warehouse management systems, AGVs, and fire safety concepts for logistics centres.

Last but not least, exhibitors can also compete with each other to win one of the Best Product awards, which carry a lot of weight and prestige.
