In a move to expand its information base in materials handling for the industrial and construction markets, Cahners Business Information has acquired CMD Group for $299.5 million.

Prior to the deal, CMD and Cahners, through Modern Materials Handling , had been working together to sponsor the Materials Handling Executive Briefings. These briefings provide top level company executives, within the materials handling industry, an exclusive view of their market. The Briefings report on leading trends and practices in materials handling as well as changes in the field. In addition, they help executives to better manage barriers to growth in their businesses.

CMD Group also publishes the Material Handling Equipment Report. This print and electronic publication focuses on owners, large manufacturers, third party logistics providers, and others involved with the internal logistics of industrial construction projects. The Report can be tailored to various equipment sectors.
