"This strategically important collaboration will enable us to enter a new market and offer our customers a regional trade show in the important Italian intralogistics market," said Andreas Gruchow, member of the Managing Board for Deutsche Messe. "Intralogistica Italia is the perfect complement to Ipack-Ima.  This will generate excellent synergies for all those involved."
