Retouche, one of the Middle East's retail-outfitting suppliers, is to expand its Dubai warehousing facility to meet growing regional demand.  

 

“We are investing two million Emirati dirhams ($544,514) in a 15,000 square foot warehouse, in Al-Ghusais, to meet increasing demand for retail outfitting supplies from the GCC countries, CIS and Africa,” said Retouche Managing Director, Kamel Morkos.  

 

Retouche exports to the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) have increased to 35 percent of its total exports and are seeing double-digit annual growth. “This trend is also being experienced by the industry,” explained Morkos.  

 

The announcement comes ahead of Spring Motexha, the international fashion, textile and retail show, which features a new vertical sector dedicated to retail outfitting. Spring Motexha will be held at the Dubai International Exhibition Centre (DIEC) from May 26 – 29. Confirmed national pavilions at the show include The UK, Germany, Italy, Spain, Turkey, Cyprus, Brazil, India and China. — (menareport.com)
