Over 100 companies are showcasing their products and services at the Pragati Maidan exhibition centre in New Delhi at CeMAT INDIA 2013 this week.

"CeMAT INDIA's broad portfolio offers visitors an excellent market overview," says Wolfgang Pech, senior vice president of show organiser Deutsche Messe AG. "Exhibitors (are demonstrating) solutions that are essential for automating and modernising logistics processes in India."

According to Deutsche Messe, there is strong demand for materials handling and logistics products in India. While the logistics sector continues to offer growth potential, it is crucial that the logistics infrastructure be modernised, including transportation routes, harbours and airports as well as warehouse capacity, which has currently reached its limits.

Exhibitors at CeMAT INDIA include international companies like Akapp Stemmann from the Netherlands, Jungheinrich from Germany and Crown from the US as well as Indian logistics companies like Hercules Hoists, Mangal Industries, Godrej & Boyle, Voltas and Maini Material Movement.

The show will also feature a conference program that addresses topics including retail logistics, warehouse design and cold chain logistics.

The exhibition program covers an extensive range of materials handling and logistics products and services: mechanical handling; storage, warehousing technology and workshop equipment; packing and order picking equipment; logistics systems and software; loading technology; complete systems for materials handling, warehousing and logistics; traffic engineering; and logistics services and outsourcing.

CeMAT INDIA is running until 20 December as part of WIN INDIA, which includes four other industrial fairs: MDA INDIA, Surface INDIA, Industrial Automation INDIA and Industrial Supply INDIA. Deutsche Messe has used the WIN-World of Industry brand for more than 10 years in Turkey, where WIN EURASIA is the leading industrial fair in the Eurasian region.

WIN INDIA and the accompanying conference and events are organised by Deutsche Messe AG and Hannover Milano Fairs India Pvt Ltd.
