FM Media has partnered with CeMAT Australia to examine the changing relationship between facilities, operations and sustainability.

The past year tested our industry. And it revealed something important.

2025 brought uncertainty to materials handling and supply chains worldwide. Tariffs shifted without warning. Investment decisions slowed. Energy costs rose. Labour shortages persisted. And yet, the industry did not stand still.

In this comprehensive feature, our media partner Forkliftaction reflects on the defining forces of the year; from global trade disruption and the rise of new manufacturing markets, to the steady acceleration of automation, electrification and sustainability.

The message from industry leaders is clear: progress continues when decisions are grounded in practicality, resilience and long-term value.

These are the same realities shaping conversations across Australia’s warehouses, distribution centres and manufacturing sites today.

At CeMAT Australia, these themes come together in one place, where industry leaders, solution providers and operators engage with the challenges that matter most, and the opportunities that follow.
