Event organiser Deutsche Messe has expanded its CeMAT exhibition schedule with the addition of CeMAT Russia. The first Moscow event has been scheduled for September 28 to October 1, 2010 at the All-Russian Exhibition Centre.
The event is a joint project with ITE Group Plc, a UK-based trade fair company with offices in 11 countries. Every year, ITE stages 50 exhibitions and conferences in Russia alone.
CeMAT RUSSIA will span all aspects of intralogistics, including materials handling and storage technology, packaging and order picking systems, materials flow solutions, warehousing systems and workshop equipment, packaging systems, transport systems, software, logistics services and outsourcing.
An event spokesman points out that the Russian market for intralogistics products has enjoyed strong growth in recent years. The country's total warehousing and logistics centre floor space grew by two million square meters (21.5 million sqft) in 2008 alone. This has been a boon to Germany's intralogistics providers, who last year grew their export sales to Russia by 52.4% for a total volume of EUR745 million (USD1.048 billion).
CeMAT Russia will run concurrently with and at the same venue as MDA Russia, Surface Russia and Industrial Automation Russia under the parent brand "Industrial Trade Fair Moscow". This clustering arrangement will allow the four industrial tradeshows to feed into each other, generating cross-industry synergies and business. International exhibitors will benefit from this latest international rollout of Deutsche Messe's trade fair formula.
