COMMENT Welcome to
September’s issue of Factory and Handling Solutions Magazine
S
eptember’s been a busy one for us over at Factory and Handling Solutions as we headed up to Birmingham for IMHX and PPMA to have a look at all of the innovations and news from the leaders in materials handling, logistics and packaging. As media partners, we were beyond excited to see what was happening. Although IMHX was smaller this year, it is safe to say, it didn’t disappoint! It was so great getting to meet
up with so many of our clients and have great conversations about what’s to come in 2026. If you couldn’t make it this time, don’t worry, you can still catch all the action through our
social posts and on our brand-new FHSTV channel. For the FHS team, launching FHSTV is a big step forward, and we’re so excited to have a
new way to connect with you. Think fun, quick and insightful content that feels a bit more personal. From chats with industry leaders to sneak peeks at the latest kit, we’ve got plenty coming your way. So hit follow, join the conversation and keep up with everything that’s happening in the world of Factory and Handling Solutions. September also marks Made Uk’s annual ‘National Manufacturing day’ a day worth

celebrating for us over at FHS as we are able to really bring to light all that the industry can offer in the way of career prospects and expose the skills gaps that we are so desperately looking to fi ll. It also showcases the stories from the people behind the factory doors and the teams actually handling material and goods, ensuring they meet the standards and needs of the public every time. This month, in the magazine, we are focusing on our packaging feature, as we look to the
future of barcoding, labelling and packaging, following PPMA Total, this past weekend. For more on the future of PPMA and the packaging sector, have a read of the article from Bradley McEwan, from Beckhoff UK, on ‘what will PPMA look like in 2035’. I hope you enjoy this issue, don’t forget to support us on our social channels to keep up with the industry news of the day, everyday.
Enjoy! Advertising Manager
