The Saudi materials handling event will now be held in November 2022.
Materials Handling Saudi postponed
01 August 2020
This year’s edition of Materials Handling Saudi Arabia, a dedicated show in the region for professionals from every facet of the warehousing, intralogistics and supply chain sector, has been postponed to November 2022.
The third edition of Materials Handling Saudi Arabia was originally scheduled to be held this November. It will now take place from November 22 to 24, 2022 at the Jeddah Center for Forums and Events.
From forklifts and lifting equipment to warehouse automation, the show presents the latest product innovations and solutions for all warehousing requirements.
The biennial show will take place alongside Scalex, the new supply chain and logistics forum, where prominent industry professionals will discuss strategies to face looming challenges as well as the future of supply chain and logistics.
It will be featuring the top global players that are transforming the industry with cutting-edge and cost-saving systems and solutions.
The move comes as Saudi Arabia continues to implement appropriate health and safety measures within its borders to contain the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic, with the new dates widely supported by industry stakeholders, said the event organiser, the Saudi-based ACE Group under licence by Messe Frankfurt Middle East, which organises Materials Handling Middle East, the region’s flagship warehousing and intra-logistics trade fair.
“This was a difficult decision, but ultimately the correct one under the current circumstances, and we know Materials Handling Saudi Arabia will be hugely successful when it returns in 2022,” said Nish Liyanage, Materials Handling Saudi Arabia’s event director.
“For now, we understand the importance of knowledge sharing and uncovering global supply chain trends, particularly during these unprecedented times. To that end, we launched our Materials Handling webinar series which has so far proven to be very popular,” he added.
