IMHX exhibitors to benefit from increased market buoyancy
With the CBI’s most recent business surveys showing improvement in manufacturing order books, stabilisation in retail sales and continued growth in e-commerce, the green shoots in Britain’s economy seem to be emerging at last.
Coming hot on the heels of the latest statistics from the British Industrial Truck Association (BITA) – whose 78 members account for over 90% of all new forklifts procured each year in the UK – the intralogistics sector has much to be positive about. Overall forklift sales increased by an encouraging 20% in 2011 compared to 2010, with powered pallet trucks the category showing the strongest improvement (50% year-on-year) and engine counterbalance trucks accounting for more than a third of all sales.
