Messe cancels Transportation & Logistics Americas

Organisers have announced the cancellation of the Transportation & Logistics Americas trade fair planned for April 2018 in Atlanta, USA.

A statement attributes the cancellation to "a strategic realignment of the cooperation partner ITE Group".

The event was a collaboration between the ITE Group, Messe München and American logistics association MHI. The new event was to be held in parallel with the MODEX intralogistics trade fair in April 2018 in Atlanta in the United States, organised by MHI.

As part of a general strategic realignment of its trade fair portfolio, the ITE Group has decided to end this cooperative partnership.

As a result, the trade fair cannot be held in the planned constellation.

"We greatly regret this development," says Gerhard Gerritzen, member of the executive board of Messe München. In its internationalisation, Messe München relies on strong local partners that are well established in the regional market. "Without the ITE Group, we currently have no such basis in the logistics segment in the USA.

"The USA remains an interesting market for our transport logistic network, and we will continue to explore the opportunities it has to offer."

London-based ITE organises over 240 exhibitions and conferences each year worldwide with many market-leading events and well known brands in key industry sectors.

ITE was established in 1991 and soon launched a series of trade exhibitions in Russia and the CIS with the primary objective of promoting trade opportunities in these new market economies. CeMAT Russia remains one of its key events.
