Intralogistics Fair CeMAT 2011 in Brazil
Deutsche Messe is organizing for 2011 an intralogistics fair, for the first time in South America. It is scheduled to debut 4-7 April 2011 at Centro de Exposições Imigrantes in São Paulo, Brazil.
The new event will cover all fields of intralogistics, from material handling and storage technology to packaging and picking technology, including traffic engineering, systems and software for intralogistics as well as logistical services.
“South America is a key component of our international strategy, one in which Brazil is currently the largest market for our exhibiting customers,” said Dr. Andreas Gruchow, Member of the Executive Board of Deutsche Messe AG. “Brazil has managed to avoid much of the impact of the worldwide financial crisis. Economic growth this year is projected at roughly five percent and, as the economy grows, so will demand for modern logistics solutions. Subsequently, many leading manufacturers have expressed strong interest in CeMAT South America.”
Deutsche Messe is organizing CeMAT SOUTH AMERICA with the cooperation and support of the Brazilian logistics association ABIMAQ, (Chamber of Material Handling) and VDMA (German Machinery and Plant Manufacturing Association).
“The large growth industries and markets in Brazil include the oil and gas industries, infractural initiatives, the construction industry, renewable energies, environmental technology, cosmetics, medical devices ,as well as the car industry, which was spared from the crisis due to massive state subsidies and even hit a record result last year. The number of new car registrations from January to October 2009 was 6.1 percent higher than the very successful period of the previous year,” reports Deutsche Messe AG.
Current Brazilian economic policy emphasizes infrastructure development, which could very well give the economy a major boost this year. In addition to infrastructure policies set forth in 2007, Brazil will host the Football 2014 World Cup and the 2016 Olympic Games, necessitating substantial investments in airports, hotels, roads, and stadiums.
