About the Event
ProMat 2011 is the premier showcase of material handling and logistics solutions
in North America. The show is designed to offer productivity solutions and information
by showcasing the products and services of over 700 leading material handling
and logistics providers.
To make it easier for attendees to find the solutions they need, the ProMat
2011 show floor is divided into three solution-specific centers: Manufacturing
and assembly solutions, fulfillment and delivery solutions, and information
technology (IT) solutions. An extensive educational conference runs concurrently
with the show and includes sessions on improving operational productivity and
visibility in manufacturing, distribution and in the overall supply chain. This
format allows attendees to learn about various material handling and logistics
solutions in the educational sessions and then actually see the equipment, systems
and services that can implement those solutions.
The U.S. Department of Commerce has selected ProMat 2011 to be an official International Buyer Program event. The Program provides Matchmaker services for interested buyers and sellers through an International Business Center located at the event.
