Inside Forkliftaction.com Contact the Forkliftaction team
One of the major events on the materials handling calendar, CeMAT 2014, is just around the corner, and the Forkliftaction team is getting ready to share in the excitement.
Some of our key people will be on hand at our booth (Hall 25, stand K 11), while others will be exploring the exhibition. You won't miss them in their bright orange shirts!
The show is a great opportunity not only to see new solutions and meet new industry players, but also to catch up with old friends. Since much of what we do is "virtual", thanks to email, it's always good to "press the flesh" and we look forward to meeting up with all our friends - old and new.
So, please pop into our stand or shout out to us as you see us walking the long aisles at Hannover. We'll be there for the full duration - from May 19 to 23.
