In an acknowledgment of the growing international interest in the Middle East’s manufacturing sector and the investment opportunities it offers, Tekno 2005 – the largest show on industrial machinery and machine tools – has met with overwhelming response, reflected in complete bookings of the exhibition space.
Tekno 2005, which is an integral part of ArabPlast 2005, will be held during March 20-23 2005 in Hall 2 at the Dubai International Exhibition Centre (DIEC). The one-of-its-kind machinery trade fair will showcase latest advancements in technology and tools by leading global companies.
Highlighting the significance of the show, Mr. Satish Khanna, General Manager, Al Fajer Information & Services, organisers of Tekno 2005, said: “The success of Tekno 2005 is reflective of the increasing share of manufacturing in the region’s non-oil sector. The buoyancy in the manufacturing industry is backed by the region’s new industrial zones and free zones that offer good infrastructure, power and communications.”
“The manufacturing sector has attracted huge investments in recent years, given high spends by Arab governments, massive projects by the private sector and increased downstream hydrocarbon activity,” Mr. Khanna added.
