Stuttgart, January 2017 – The 15th edition of the LogiMAT trade show once again fills the entire Messe Stuttgart convention centre. More than 1,300 international exhibitors from all industries present their latest solutions to address the challenges of digitization and efficiency in intralogistical processes. A high-quality accompanying program with expert forums, a series of live events, and presentations of the latest studies of industry trends underscore LogiMAT’s character as a leading international platform for information and a “working” trade show for the intralogistics industry.

LogiMAT – the “International Trade Show for Distribution, Materials Handling, and Information Flow” – returns for the 15th year from March 14 to 16, 2017. This year’s event has the theme “Shaping Change: Digital – Connected – Innovative” and is devoted to forward-looking movements such as Industry 4.0 and the internet of things and their inherent themes of digitization and smart process integration. The intralogistics trade show once again fills all eight exhibit halls of the Messe Stuttgart convention center – 50,000 square meters of net exhibit space. LogiMAT was already fully booked by the autumn of 2016.

This year’s event is expected to draw some 1,300 exhibitors, up about 5 percent over the previous year, with 23.5 percent based outside of Germany – primarily in China, Korea, Japan, Taiwan, and the US. This makes the “International Trade Show for Distribution, Materials Handling, and Information Flow” secure in its position as what Peter Kazander – Managing Director of EUROEXPO Messe- und Kongress-GmbH in Munich, which is organizing LogiMAT 2017 – calls “the leading international trade show for intralogistics” in 2017. This position is further bolstered by the huge and increasingly international throng of visitor in recent years. In 2016, a total of 43,466 visitors (up 23.8 percent from the previous year) came to LogiMAT in Stuttgart to learn about the latest challenges and trends. Being there live gives LogiMAT visitors the unique opportunity to thoroughly examine and directly compare the various solutions all in one place. More than one-fifth of the industry professionals came from outside of Germany. No other intralogistics trade show anywhere in the world draws a larger audience than LogiMAT.
