Middle East Construction Forum returns with broad programme

Hardware+Tools Middle East is the only dedicated trade event in the Middle East region for the hardware, tools, material and machinery sectors. Over the years, its comprehensive industry-wide reach has seen it become a vital business and networking tool for manufacturers, suppliers, buyers and professionals from the industry in the region.

Hardware+Tools Middle East has now become the industry showcase and platform of choice for manufacturers to display their latest range of products as well as to seek new markets. For buyers and distributors it is a great platform to scout out the latest developments in the industry and source new products that may not yet be available in the region.

With recent research indicating that the construction industry in the UAE is expected to grow at a CAGR of at least 20% between 2010 and 2013, key players are extremely upbeat about the prospects for the building material and machinery market.

Mrs. Mehtap Kenar Gursoy, Senior Show Manager, Epoc Messe Frankfurt, organiser of Hardware+Tools Middle East, said: “While spending on projects in Saudi Arabia continues and new investment announcements have recently been made across the region, I would like to stress the coming demand for construction material and ma-chinery.”

The Middle East Construction Forum which is now an integral part of Hardware+Tools Middle East is a comprehensive series of workshops & seminars being organised in association with Society of Engineers - UAE. The object of the forum is to give an opportunity to construction professionals to discuss and learn more about the topics relevant to their industry. The Forum will be held over two days with the first day’s programme dedicated for project managers and engineers and the second day to consultants and contractors.

Hardware+Tools Middle East 2012 will take place at the Dubai International Convention and Exhibition Centre from May 10 to 12. The trade exhibition is expected to attract a broad spectrum of industry professionals looking to source more products and services for the upcoming projects confirmed across the region.
