From 10 to 12 March 2020, over 1,650 international exhibitors will be showcasing the latest innovations and future-proof solutions for intelligent control of modern intralogistics processes at LogiMAT, the 18th International Trade Fair for Intralogistics Solutions and Process Management.<\/p>\n

Packaging industry and AutoID sector<\/strong> are facing fundamentally new market requirements with regard to Sustainability and climate neutrality<\/strong> of their products and solutions. At LogiMAT 2020 in Stuttgart, the international manufacturers in the two exhibition areas will therefore also be showcasing the latest products and concepts for optimised CO2<\/sub>-footprint of their customers.<\/p>\n

The Manufacturer of packaging and packaging machines<\/strong>However differentiated their range of solutions may be, they face exciting challenges: After the record year of 2018, in which machine manufacturers, for example, achieved the highest growth of the past decade with an increase of eight per cent and a turnover of 7.1 billion euros, the VDMA Food Processing and Packaging Machinery Association<\/strong> for the past year moderate increase of no more than two per cent<\/strong>. The situation is hardly any different for packaging and packaging material manufacturers. For example, the Corrugated board industry<\/strong> already forecast growth for 2018 of only 0.6 per cent<\/strong> and thus fell well short of the forecast growth rate of 3.9 per cent.<\/p>

\"In addition to the safety aspect and increasing digital networking of smartphones and smart packaging, the sustainability aspect is becoming a key driver for the solutions with which the packaging industry wants to generate additional volume,\" explains LogiMAT Exhibition Director Michael Ruchty<\/strong> from the Munich-based organiser Euroexpo Messe- und Kongress-GmbH. \"There is hardly any other exhibition sector that is undergoing such a significant change as the packaging segment.\"<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Sustainability has already emerged as a strong trend in the packaging industry in recent years. Environmental compatibility and multi-purpose suitability are increasingly characterising consumer behaviour and challenging manufacturers. At LogiMAT, exhibitors in Halls 4 and 6 will be presenting their latest developments in sustainable packaging solutions.<\/p>\n

Platform for intralogistics<\/h2>\n

\"The topic of digitalisation has now arrived in companies,\" says Michael Ruchty.<\/strong>\u00a0 \"However, many companies are hesitant when it comes to the concrete implementation of digital transformation, as a large number of current studies show. Many decision-makers are not yet clear about where the journey is heading when it comes to technological developments. They have a great need for information and are therefore reluctant to invest in the solutions on offer.\"<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Against this backdrop, LogiMAT sees itself as a Platform for intralogistics<\/strong>The exhibitors will present a cross-section of the current range of solutions with their exhibits - including numerous world premieres. At the same time, the supporting programme with more than 30 specialist forums offers,<\/strong> exciting live events and more than 100 exhibitor presentations<\/strong> a comprehensive range of information for the future-proof orientation of intralogistics.<\/p>
