As the largest tradeshow in the supply chain, MODEX, kicks off next week in Atlanta, Hannibal Industries issued the following statement by President, Blanton Bartlett:
“The health and safety of our ESOP members and our extended and valued business partners is of paramount importance. Due to the recent and growing developments related to the Coronavirus (COVID-19), we have decided to cancel our participation in the MODEX 2020 tradeshow and after-party. We will continue to monitor this global situation closely and provide updates related to any changes related to the manner in which we conduct our business. There was a tremendous amount of planning that went into this show thus far and we want to thank our team, business partners, customers and show attendees for understanding the situation and our position at this time.”
