PROMAT and MODEX: Essential Platforms for Supply Chain Technology Advancements
MHI is the largest national trade association for the material handling, logistics, and supply chain industries. As an association, MHI offers education, networking, and solution sourcing for members, their customers, and the industry as a whole. MHI plays a pivotal role in connecting professionals, fostering innovation, and leading the charge in industry standards.
MHI sponsors two trade shows: ProMat in odd-numbered years and MODEX in even-numbered years. ProMat is the older trade show of the two and it is larger than MODEX. While the focus and audience of the two shows have differed somewhat historically, their purposes and scope have substantially converged, although their attendee audiences differs somewhat due to their proximity to one show or the other.
As one of the largest, most comprehensive events in the material handling and logistics sector, ProMat features hundreds of exhibitors showcasing a broad range of solutions from traditional, manual equipment to computerized, automated systems. Its focus is on facilitating connections and knowledge-sharing between professionals across all facets of the supply chain. The most recent ProMat was March 20-23, 2023 at McCormick Place in Chicago.
MODEX is another colossal trade show that falls under the MHI umbrella, occurring every two years. This show typically focuses on supply chain solution providers and offers attendees the opportunity to see the latest manufacturing and supply chain equipment and technologies. MODEX 2024 is scheduled for March 4-7, 2024, at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta.
Prior to establishing MODEX, in years alternating with ProMat, MHI held the North American Material Handling Show starting in 1992 in Detroit, moving to Cleveland in 2004. In 2012 MHI replaced launched MODEX to appeal to a broader, international audience.
