The warehouse and logistics sector is evolving rapidly, shaped by advances in technology, changing customer expectations, and wider market pressures. For businesses to remain competitive, staying informed and connected is essential.
That’s why industry events such as IMHX play such a crucial role. As the UK’s largest logistics gathering, IMHX brings together thousands of professionals at the NEC in Birmingham every two years to explore innovation, share expertise, and discuss the future of the supply chain.
This year, J&M Storage Systems attended to engage with peers, discover the latest developments, and gain insights into the trends shaping our industry.
So, what exactly is IMHX and why does it matter?
What is IMHX?
Billed as the UK’s largest logistics event, IMHX stands for the International Materials Handling Exhibition. It’s a key date in the diary for professionals across intralogistics, warehousing, and supply chain management.
The event brings together thousands of industry leaders, decision-makers, and solution providers under one roof. Visitors can expect to see everything from the latest in pallet racking, forklifts, and warehouse automation, to innovations in robotics, AI, and supply chain software.
IMHX also offers a strong conference programme, with expert-led seminars and panel discussions exploring the future of logistics. Topics often range from automation and sustainability, to digital transformation and the challenges of global supply chains.
For businesses, it’s more than just a showcase of products – IMHX is a place to benchmark against industry best practice, discover new technologies, and connect with peers and partners shaping the sector.
