    ProMat 2017: The Industry on Display

    March 13, 2017
    ProMat 2017 provides a look at the material handling solutions in use today and the technologies that will advance the industry in the years ahead.

    Comparable to (though perhaps not as well-known as) the appearance of the first robin in your backyard or the sound of "Play ball!" on Opening Day is another spring-time rite of passage: the ribbon-cutting ceremony at ProMat, North America's largest trade show devoted to material handling and logistics solutions.

    Besides finding virtually every type of material handling equipment available at the show, attendees can choose from over 100 educational seminars, four keynote sessions, a "women in the supply chain industry" forum, and solutions theaters focused on autonomous vehicles and sustainable facilities.
