BIRMINGHAM, United Kingdom -- Turret RAI, organiser of the International Materials Handling Exhibition (IMHX) in March, which attracted 16,000 visitors to Birmingham's National Exhibition Centre, has announced that IMHX 2004 will encompass the International Handling & Storage Exhibition (IHSE).

The move follows Turret's acquisition of DMG World Media's materials handling division. IMHX show director Paul Michael said IMHX was now "unquestionably" the event for materials handling industry players to exhibit their products and services.
