155,000 Sq. Ft. of Show Floor Reserved At MODEX 2016 Spacedraw

The MODEX 2016 exhibit spacedraw, held last month in Atlanta, attracted 349 exhibitors who reserved a first-day record of 155,000 net square feet of show floor space at the industry’s premier U.S. event. This record amount of space reserved is a clear message that the material handling, logistics and supply chain industry is healthy and growing. NACCO Materials Handling Group selected the first booth of the draw on behalf of the Hyster and Yale brands.

“The success of the MODEX exhibit spacedraw is a clear indicator that supply chain solution providers have a positive economic outlook sending a clear message as to the value of the MODEX expo and the health of the industry as a whole,” said George Prest, CEO of MHI.

MODEX 2016, sponsored by MHI, will be the most comprehensive international manufacturing and supply chain expo held in the U.S. in 2016. MODEX will showcase the solutions of 800 exhibitors who will fill the MODEX’s 250,000 square foot show floor. MODEX will be held April 4-7, 2016 at Atlanta’s Georgia World Congress Center.
