MHI<\/a> is celebrating 75 years of pushing the material handling industry forward in 2020.<\/p>\n

MHI<\/a> was incorporated in 1945 with the objective of serving its members and promoting the industry at large. In 1948, MHI<\/a> created the National Material Handling Show which was later named ProMat. This event grew into MHI<\/a>‘s signature event.<\/p>\n

Also in the early years of MHI<\/a>, sections or groups were formed from within the membership or through affiliation within MHI<\/a> to better represent specific producing sectors (examples being industrial trucks, cranes, hoists, monorails, racks and shelving, loading dock equipment, lift equipment and conveyors). These groups still serve the industry today.<\/p>\n

\"\"

MHI provides educational, business development, networking and solution sourcing opportunities.<\/p><\/div>\n

As the industry changes, so has MHI<\/a>. Due to the shrinking dimensions of a new, global economy, where sourcing knows no walls or barriers, MHI<\/a> expanded its focus and introduced a new expo, MODEX, (launched in 2012) to further integrate with the larger, overall supply chain. ProMat (hosted in Chicago, IL in odd years) alternates years with MODEX (hosted in Atlanta, GA in even years).<\/p>\n

However we grow and change, MHI<\/a> continues to try and find solutions and answers for the industry that makes supply chains work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
