TRADE SHOWS MARCH 17-20, 2025 Chicago, Illinois PROMAT 2025 was buzzing this year…! Packed with entrepreneurs, warehouse operators, and facility managers—each one of them actively looking for smarter ways to manage rising costs per square foot.

With energy prices, property taxes, maintenance, and insurance all climbing, it’s clear that pressure is mounting, and decision-makers are being forced to get creative to preserve their margins.

From the very first conversations, it was clear that Montel’s solutions hit home. Visitors were highly engaged, open to real discussions, and many of them came with very specific problems that aligned directly with our strengths. The quality of the leads, and more importantly, the quality of the conversations, confirmed something we’ve long believed: our solutions can have a tangible impact on day-to-day operations.

Our ability to demonstrate a return on equity within two years consistently resonated—especially when we illustrated how consolidating two warehouses into one could unlock six- to seven-figure savings within the same year. Those numbers weren’t just impressive; they were relatable.

PROMAT reaffirmed that Montel is a serious player in North American markets. We left the show energized, validated, and more committed than ever to supporting industrial organization with solutions that speak directly to the challenges they are facing.
