Building upon the success of LogiMAT India 2024, the inaugural event which garnered widespread acclaim for its focus on Material Handling, Intralogistics, Warehousing, Automation & Robotics, and Transportation Management, Messe Stuttgart India is gearing up for an even more impactful edition with LogiMAT India 2025.

A key highlight of LogiMAT India 2024 was the esteemed presence of Controller of Logistics (COL) Vice Admiral Deepak Kapoor, AVSM; and their team from Material Organisation, Indian Navy. Their engagement in discussions with LogiMAT India's organizers underscored the imperative to modernize the Navy's logistics infrastructure, spanning over 60 warehouses nationwide.

In a proactive step towards addressing these needs, LogiMAT India's organizers conducted a site visit to Material Organisation, Indian Navy in Mumbai, to gain firsthand insights into the challenges faced and to collaborate with relevant industry players. Exhibitors including Addverb Technologies, Armstrong Dematic, Racks and Rollers, Nilkamal Ltd., Accio Robotics, and Karcher Cleaning Systems were among those who extended their expertise and solutions to meet the Navy's requirements.

The culmination of these efforts took shape on May 3, 2024, as all participating organisations and LogiMAT India organizers congregated at Material Organisation for bespoke presentations and discussions tailored to the Indian Navy's unique requisites at Mumbai. Each exhibitor delivered insightful presentations showcasing solutions pertinent to the Navy's needs, in the esteemed presence of high-ranking dignitaries.

In the aftermath of these deliberations, the Indian Navy is poised to engage with the exhibiting companies to evaluate and adopt the most viable solutions that align with their strategic objectives and operational requirements.

Set to take place as a satellite show of LogiMAT Stuttgart, LogiMAT India?25 is scheduled from 13th ? 15th February 2025 at the esteemed Bombay Exhibition Center (BEC), Mumbai covering an expansive area of 14,000 square meters. With an anticipated 200+ exhibitors and a projected attendance of 15000+ visitors, the event is poised to set new benchmarks in the logistics industry.
