 Attendees at a past ProMat |
Manufacturers of at least 11 forklift brands will show their wares during ProMat 2015, but more than two dozen other exhibitors are promoting their messages now through video postings in a MHI
competition.
To build interest, ProMat 2015 organisers are giving each of those exhibitors an early opportunity via a short video to convince attendees of the need to visit that firm's booth during the 23-26 March trade show in McCormick Place's South Hall in Chicago. Registered ProMat 2015 attendees can vote electronically through February for their favourite video.
Forklift exhibitors at ProMat 2015 include Clark (booth #2012), Combilift (booth #1038), Doosan (booth #662), Hyster (booth #1503), Hyundai (booth #1241), Jungheinrich (booth #3603), Komatsu (booth #3636), Raymond (booth #3219), Tailift (booth #2068), UniCarriers (booth #2091) for the Nissan and TCM brands, and Yale (booth #1003).
More than 700 exhibitors will display their solutions on the 300,000 net sqft. (27,870 sqm) show floor.
