New Member Resource: About The Material Handling Industry Presentation

The material handling industry spans across nearly every industry in the world, powers $173.2 billion towards the US economy and supports nearly 1.6 billion jobs. Despite its size, material handling remains largely unknown as an industry because its work is done behind the scenes of the greater supply chain.
