Stellana Cancelling Participation at MODEX in Atlanta

-


Due to the concerns surrounding coronavirus, Stellana will no longer be exhibiting at the MODEX show. Scheduled to run next week, MODEX takes place in Atlanta, March 9-12, 2020. In addition, we had planned to pull our attendance from LogiMAT held in Germany the same week, but the show has since been canceled.

The health and safety of our employees is our primary concern. As the coronavirus continues to spread worldwide and nationally, we have decided that we will not be sending our team members to participate in the MODEX 2020 show.  

With an expected turnout of 30,000, the MODEX show brings together many visitors from throughout the United States and overseas, and there is a chance that the spread of the coronavirus will continue here.

While we looked forward to the valuable facetime with our customers, dealers, and vendors, we feel this is the best decision for the health and safety of its employees. Thank you for your understanding!

By now, we are all aware there is a PPE shortage for many of the workers who need protective equipment the most. One of the most talked-about items are masks.
We are also hearing how many companies are experiencing an extreme decline in business. A local company, PFI Fashions Inc., took what could be a negative situation and used their open capacity to make a very positive impact on their local community.

Within the course of a week, they have completely shifted their production focus to making washable, cotton face masks. They have been generously donating them to Aurora Hospital, local EMTs, and the other essential workers who need them the most.

Because of their hard work, we were able to purchase masks to keep our employees safer at Stellana. We want…

How many days a week do packages arrive at your household? For some of us, you could even ask how many times a day do packages arrive at your house? Buying habits and expectations have been changing for some time now, and these trends are forcing warehousing and manufacturing operations to adapt. There is little to no room for downtime, and forklift wheels and tires play a crucial role in keeping things moving during the seasonal peaks and shopping holidays such as Cyber Monday.
Current Climate in the World of Ecommerce Ecommerce trends are making order fulfillment more complex. In general, consumers are placing smaller orders more frequently. With the ease of online ordering, it is not unusual that someone places an order, then a few hours later, places another order with an additional item they forgot. With a just few clicks, a passing thought can become a purchase. Seamless operations provide the ultimate convenience for the purchaser, but behind the scenes with each order, invento…
