This is an article talking about a trade show in which a logistics company had a stand to demonstrate the workings of the supply chain. "matérialiser" is used in several ways and I'm not sure how to translate it:
Here's the title of the article: "Un parcours thématique pour matérialiser la Supply Chain et les flux à l'honneur au service du développement commercial"
"La logistique globale matérialisée sur 920 m²"
Thanks!
