Tekno Tube Arabia 2009: Successful business transactions in a strong investment market

Preparations for the Tekno Tube Arabia 2009, 9th International Trade Fair for industrial machines, metalworking, machine tools, tubes & pipes, are in high gear. From 10th to 13th January 2009, everything in halls 3 and 4 of the Dubai World Trade Centre is geared to the world of industrial and machine tools as well as metalworking and tube manufacture.

The renowned specialist exhibition has recorded consistently increasing numbers of exhibitors since its beginnings in 1996 and this year is no exception: with an anticipated 350 exhibitors from 19 nations, this time the exhibition will not only be excellently but also internationally frequented. Companies from the USA, Asia, (China, Malaysia, Taiwan, South Korea and India), Europe (Germany, Great Britain, France, Italy, Spain, Turkey, Austria, the Czech Republic, the Netherlands, Finland, and the Ukraine) as well as the United Arab Emirates have registered. 28 suppliers from Germany will be present on a total of 669 square metres of exhibition space.

Innovations and services will be presented in the national pavilions of Germany, Italy and China, In addition, sector relevant associations and institutions will showcase themselves, for example the world’s biggest tube industry association, ITA – International Tube Association, the association of German machine and plant construction, VDMA, the German specialist association of machine and tool wholesalers, FDM, the Metallurgical Council of China Council for the Promotion of International Trade MC-CCPIT and the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade CCPIT.

For good reason: Because Dubai is the platform for successful business transactions in the Middle East; the biggest and most important trading centre in a region with approx. 544 million people, a per capita GDP of about 1,000 US dollars and above average population growth. Thanks to an excellent investment volume, the exhibitors here can expect not only promising new business contacts and interesting specialist discussions at their stands but also good post-exhibition business. Previous events have clearly demonstrated this.

A total of 14,500 specialist visitors from 41 nations came to the most recent specialist exhibition in January 2007 and to the simultaneously held Arabplast 2007, Arab International Plastic & Rubber Industry Trade Show. They ensured intensive negotiations and many successful business transactions in the halls of the Dubai International Convention Exhibition Centre, the most important exhibition platform in the region with 70 annual events and an ultra-modern site.

According to the questionnaires, the international specialist visitors were satisfied with the service provided by Tekno Tube Arabia. Here, their expectations were fulfilled; to see high quality innovations on the one hand and to find concrete and individual solutions on the other hand.
