Welcome to this special issue of MHI Solutions, which celebrates the 75th anniversary of MHI.

From 1850 when Sir William Fairbairn patented the industrial crane to 2020 when COVID-19 tested every joint in the supply chain, these are some of the milestones in the material handling industry.

The Material Handling Education Foundation, Inc. (MHEFI) recognizes significant contributions to our industry either overall or in the area of education in the form of awards.

The CICMHE-MHI partnership has thrived because both parties must have been committed to making it successful—and that has required changing with the times.

Since 1952, the College-Industry Council on Material Handling Education (CICMHE), an independent organization founded by MHI, has provided the structure to help develop connections between industry and academic leaders that have allowed for a deep appreciation across the divide and a sharp understanding of the ways university-industry partnerships can lead to valuable insight and benefits to the material handling field.

Adaptable and collaborative MHI Industry Groups customize their solutions based on industry needs and future trends.

MHI releases third edition in a series of forward-looking industry Roadmaps with “Transformation Age: Shaping Your Future.”

For 75 years, MHI has served the interests of material handling and supply chain firms by providing a forum for connections, educational and knowledge resources, industry leadership and market access via our premier exhibitions showcasing member innovations—all while raising awareness of the critical role the industry plays in our daily lives.

Significant changes with technologies and trends will transform the supply chain as we know it
