Call for Papers

Welcome

The 6th International Conference on Material Handling （ ICMH ） , a successive event sponsored by Chinese Mechanical Engineering Society, will be held on October 27 – 29, 2008 in Shanghai New International Expo Centre. As the concurrent events to each other, ICMH 2008 and CeMat Asia 2008 will further highlight the success and brilliance of the two great events with extensive recognition worldwide.

Shanghai is the birth place of the triennial ICMH. The first success in 1994 has paved its way to the subsequent milestones in other cities of China ever since.
