If things have gone into reverse elsewhere, then the Gulf area still provides an uplift where systems with glass, and for glass, are concerned. The recent order for $67 million worth of glass and aluminium for Jumeirah Lakes, the massive new operations hubs for Danube Building Materials, the contracts worth $740 million handed out for the Doha Convention Center & Tower – all examples of continued serious investment which will keep demand levels up and provide a springboard for the expansion of existing glassmaking facilities and investment in new ones.
The 3rd Gulf Glass exhibition has once again proved a draw for leading names from the Gulf, the Middle East and much further afield. Already it’s been confirmed that major exhibitors from China, Czech Republic, Egypt, Finland, France, Germany, India, Iran, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, Sweden, Turkey, UAE, UK and USA will participate in the three-day event at the ExpoCentre Sharjah. They’re in the melt and hitting the industry’s hotspot.
“We look forward to hosting ‘regulars’ from our two previous editions as well, I am happy to say, as a good number of first-time exhibitors from various countries,” commented Event Director, Kevin Hudson of Gattaca Communications. “This structure and the centre that we use suits the showcasing of glass technologies to the GCC and Middle East visitor base and we are conscious that the overall presentation and message remains highly focussed and undiluted.
“The exhibiting companies are making a direct pitch to their core customers and are not having at Gulf Glass to sort the wheat from the chaff in a generalised, pot pourri type of building show. We are looking forward to the continuing support of the whole region’s glass manufacturing and processing industry and I am sure the visiting executives will find much to interest them and enable their companies to take operations one step further in the rapid development programmes characteristic of the region.”
Gulf Glass 2009 will take place from 16-18 March at the ExpoCentre Sharjah, in conjunction with DWRW (Doors & Windows, Roofs & Walls Middle East).
