Dematic used the event to celebrate it’s anniversary under the motto of ‘111 years of innovation,’ showcasing its extensive history in pioneering materials handling and logistics technologies, since its launch in Offenbach, Germany in 1900.

As well as its stand at CeMAT, Dematic ran a well-attended supporting program including a press conference, customer stand party and site visits to Dematic’s new Technology Centre in Offenbach and to local customer Ferdinand Gross, which was one of the first companies in the world to implement Dematic’s new Multishuttle buffer storage and sequencing system.
