Domotex ME will be held from May 28
DUBAI — The United Arab Emirates is demonstrating impressive economic growth. Companies in the flooring covering sector have huge business potential here, said Susanne Klaproth, director, Domotex Middle East, one of the largest trade fair for carpets and floor coverings at a Press conference held recently.
Domotex Middle East will open its door to trade professionals from the entire MENA-Region on May 28 at Dubai International Exhibition Centre (DIEC).
The exhibition will run till May 30 and will display hand-woven and machine-made rugs and carpets, textile and resilient floor coverings, parquet and wooden flooring, laminates, natural stone and marble flooring, as well as ceramic tiles and the entire range of fitting, laying, maintenance and applications technology.
Angela Schaschen, managing director of Messe Middle East, agent for Domotex Middle East and Deutsche Messe AG, said: “The construction market in the AGCC is one of the most buoyant worldwide with a recent report saying more than 1,800 projects are currently being built in the Gulf. The associated demand for carpets and flooring is obvious. The imports of carpets into the UAE have risen by more than 30 per cent in 2004. The retail sector, hospitality sector has also boosted the demand for different kinds of flooring and the demand will continue for the next five years.’’
The level of participation is much higher than the organisers, Deutsche Messe AG, anticipated. In fact, they have responded by adding another hall to the three halls originally planned, thus increasing the total display area from 12,000 to 14,000 square metres in order to meet the demand for space.
There will be 241 exhibitors from 36 countries and 33 exhibitors will be from the UAE.
The visitor target groups of the exhibition include architects, interior designers, construction companies and property investors as well as their buyers and project managers.
