A month ahead of the opening of logistics trade fair PROlogistics, organiser Axis has received a record number of registrations.

Axis claims PROlogistics is now the largest trade fair for the logistics world. On March 31, 450 exhibitors will open their stands for the three-day show in Brussels, Belgium.

"This trade fair will bring together everything current in supply chain management and warehouse equipment. As a result, the fair is attracting the whole industry as exhibitors and achieving its ambition of being the trade fair for the total supply chain," an Axis statement said.

EmPak, a two-day fair for packaging, labelling and coding, is being held alongside PROlogistics.

New for 2004 is a "Transport Village" in which several companies in the transport sector will exhibit. And, for the first time, there will be a full range of logistics software.
