Transport Logistics thematic section will complete Logistics trade show with thematic areas. Participants of new exposition will present transport-forwarding services — motor, sea, river, air, special transportations, customs-broker services and insurance of cargo. Thus, since 2010 Logistics will provide a complete picture of domestic logistical branch, showing novelties, condition, and tendencies of all its segments.

Introduction of new section became a logic step of the trade show development. Transport logistics makes more than 50 % of the general logistical branch, it is impossible to overestimate its role in modern production and trade. Changed economic conditions only have underlined importance of this link in the chain “producer — seller — consumer”. Yes, volumes of transportations and transaction sums are different nowadays, but requirement for transportations has not changed.

However to find a reliable partner in the world of transportations is not easy, more over it is difficult to make it in the instable situation with the fuel prices, bad renewability of motor-parks and drivers of poor qualification. This problem is especially critical for the following sectors of economy:

• Retail trade — in new conditions trading chains refuse from their own motor-parks and actively co-operate with the transport companies, essentially cutting down expenses and optimizing process of delivery of the goods in shops.
• Wholesale trade — for distributors of goods, transport logistics is the main article of expenses.
• Food-processing industry — branch in which quality and stability of transportations (both in the course of finished goods transportation, and in raw materials deliveries) makes direct impact on quality of the goods and loyalty of consumers.
• Heavy industry — metallurgical and chemical industrial complexes, having endured recession, increase capacities and face transportation problem. In particular, railway and sea transportations are the most actual for this branch.

According to the estimations of experts, last year the indicator of responsibility of companies and success of their business was their presence in the main industry shows. “Present in the trade show means present in the market” — this is today's logic of reliable partnership. Unfortunately, some companies cannot meet requests of their clients, and, that is why clients try to find new partners. So participation in trade shows, open demonstration of possibilities, principles and development strategy is simply necessary to survive, to develop and to receive orders of competitors which were not present in the trade show.

Logistics 2010 trade show will take place on March 2-5 simultaneously with the international trade show of MaRHo Shop — Technologies and Equipment for Retail and Industrial Cold trade show. Those events in 2009, despite crisis, were visited by more than 5,000 experts from all over Ukraine.
