70 YEARS IN THE MAKING T


his year we celebrate the 70th anniversary of Factory Equipment magazine. Over the last seven decades we have worked to deliver you the latest developments in an ever changing industry, and we have strived to roll with the times, as have you all.


As we celebrate this milestone we look back over the almost 700 issues that have landed on your desks, exploring all aspects of boilers, pumps and valves, supply chain management, warehousing, handling and storage, health and safety and much more. For years we have had Materials Handling & Logistics magazine living at the heart of Factory Equipment magazine every other month, exploring the changes effecting the handling industry and the new equipment helping to streamline operations. With this rebrand to Factory & Handling Solutions, we are merging these two titles into one, with a fresh modern look we will be bringing you the same content, case studies, opinion pieces and latest product innovations that you know and love from Factory Equipment and Materials Handling & Logistics magazine, but bringing your favourite features to you more regularly with refreshed editorial calendar, comment from the leading industry experts, and the latest news effecting you.


In this bumper issue we take a look at health and safety, boilers, pumps and valves, supply chain management, warehousing, handling and storage and compressed air.


The team and I want to take this opportunity to thank our advertisers for their support, and also you, our readers, for following us through the years and joining us on this exciting new chapter.
