Brightpick's Andrey Bakholdin in front of the covered exhibit

Having just returned from a whirlwind visit to Germany for LogiMAT, our editor Angie Kay is taking a well-earned rest. She’ll be back with rolling in-depth coverage of the event from next week, but in her absence, I have taken the Forkliftaction News reins.

Speaking of LogiMAT, this week we highlight more products introduced at the event. On top of that, we examine the dispute that emerged between Ocado and Brightpick and explain why it resulted in a police visit to the Brightpick exhibit.

Elsewhere, we report on CLARK Material Handling Company and its return to its roots in the state of Michigan.

And finally, we note the passing of Mitch Milovich, at 83. An industry professional with over 60 years’ experience in materials handling, he will be missed.
