Many individuals and organisations are unaware of what the words ‘materials handling’ mean and what Materials Handling Pty Ltd can do for them.

The definitive answer is that materials handling is the terminology, process and psychology of the movement (handling), control and protection of goods (materials) as they are manufactured, distributed, stored, used and disposed of environmentally and safely, while improving profitability and productivity.
