INSIDE FORKLIFTACTION
The first big European gathering of the materials handling industry in more than two years, LogiMAT 2022, is over and we begin a series of reports on the show this week.
Over three days, there was plenty to see, and in scores of discussions, event participants stressed their delight at the return to normality.
While the halls may not have been as full as in previous years, the calibre of attendees was impressive and the exhibitors we spoke to were extremely pleased with the level of interest and the quality of discussions. Visitors seemed to head straight for the company representatives at the stands and to instantly engage - unlike some shows where the exhibitors spend a lot of time talking to themselves.
For us, there were dozens of insightful interviews with industry leaders, and the challenge now is to work through all of that, analyse the trends and share them with our readers.
