CeMAT Russia: showcasing Russia’s potential
in the transportation and logistics sector
Russia’s transport and logistics sector is a
lucrative prospect for foreign companies. The
international trade fair CeMAT being held in
Moscow, offers countless opportunities across the
length and breadth of the country. Visitors and
exhibiting companies should take advantage of
this event to expand into the Russian and
neighboring market.
With a surface area larger than that of Pluto, Russia
is truly vast. The world’s largest country’s
geographic constraints make it absolutely essential
to have an extensive transport and logistics network.
In order to service its 145 million citizens with
goods and services, the air, sea, road and rail logistics
are in high demand. Moving goods into and
around Russia is a herculean task. This requires a
strong logistics sector – including functional transport
links and well equipped logistics hubs. Russia’s
transport strategy 2030, laid down by the ministry
of transport back in 2012, specifies the growing
need for development in the logistics and warehousing
sector around the country. With the efforts
put in by the Russian government it looks like the
country is on course towards expanding the availability
of world-class logistical hubs and integration
of modern technology into the logistics sector.
Since the beginning of April, 2016, that transport &
logistics markets in Russia are on the rise after a
difficult 2014 and 2015, Western sanctions and the
oil crisis had played havoc on Russia’s transport
firms but now things are starting to look positive
again. Since 2016, millions of Euros have been
spent and assigned for construction of new and
strategic facilities. With number of logistics hubs
increasing throughout Russia, the demand for related
technologies such as picking and fulfillment,
cargo tracking, and other sector-specific
equipment, machinery, and tech is also on the
rise. With all the big logistic projects in the pipeline
and overall growth prospects in mind, CeMAT Russia,
country’s leading international trade show for logistics
and supply chain becomes a ‘must go’ event for all
the industry stake holders.
This 3 day event is an ideal business-to-business platform to meet

from international logistics experts to industry professionals
and highly qualified decision-makers of small as well as large
corporations. For machinery manufacturers and exhibitors,
CeMAT Russia provides a unique opportunity to create
new networks, cultivate new relationships with potential
customers and also to catch up with the latest
developments and requirements of existing customers.
