MHMonline.com is loaded with fresh content in areas within the supply chain that are critical to manufacturing, distribution, inventory management, and on-time shipping & delivery. The site also features an extensive events calendar that includes in-person and online web events. In addition, visitors can search for jobs or candidates with the online career center, powered by JobsinMFG.com.

According to Group Publisher, Newt Barrett, “We know that our readers are long on work and short on time. MHMonline.com, much like the magazine, is designed to present a wealth of well-organized, useful information in a format that lets users find what they need quickly.”

Development of the new website was a collaborative effort between Digiknow of Cleveland, OH and Penton Media IT staff. Research about MHM readers’ editorial interests and the most successful supply-chain websites supported the redesign.    

The editorial team for Material Handling Management and MHMonline.com content is led by three seasoned journalists: David Drickhamer, Editor-in-Chief (e-mail protected from spam bots); Clyde Witt, Executive Editor (e-mail protected from spam bots); and Lisa Kempfer, Managing Editor (e-mail protected from spam bots).
