MFK @TEST CAMP – Leading Congress for Material Flow

Starting in 2026, the German Material Flow Congress (MFK) will become an integral part and one of the key highlights of TEST CAMP INTRALOGISTICS. As a leading congress for intralogistics in Europe, the MFK serves as a central platform for manufacturers, users, planners and researchers to exchange ideas, share knowledge and network on all aspects of internal material flow and future logistics.

Each year, the congress focuses on a relevant key topic that is brought to life through presentations and panel discussions with experts from both industry and academia.

The congress is chaired by Prof. Dr. Johannes Fottner, Chair of Materials Handling, Material Flow, Logistics at the Technical University of Munich. The technical sponsor is the VDI Society for Production and Logistics.
