The Material Handling Industry of America (MHIA), organizers of ProMat, will next go to work on its newest trade show, Modex, which launches Feb. 6–9, 2012 in Atlanta. Modex replaces the NA (North American) material handling show that MHIA held in even numbered years in Cleveland.

Modex will take place in the Georgia World Congress Center. MHIA intends to expand the show beyond its traditional material handling focus to include technology, services, and educational offerings for the overall supply chain.
