As exhibitor and supporter, aluminium producer able to develop partnerships at local, regional and international levels
Qatalum has taken a central role in the Aluminium Middle East Dubai 2013 Conference, which has wrapped up after three days at the Dubai International Convention & Exhibition Centre (DICEC).
The exhibition conference, which took place over 23-25 April, was its third edition and brought together international industry front-runners including producers, manufacturers and processors of raw materials and end products made with aluminium components, as well as suppliers of technologies and accessories for aluminium production, processing and refinement. The focus was on the MENA region’s fast-growing role in the global aluminium industry, highlighting investment plans in new smelters and expansion of existing capacities by the regional market players from the GCC countries.
Qatalum was involved both as exhibitor of what is the leading exhibition for aluminium products, technologies and investments in the Middle East, and as one of the supporters of the event– which set new records in welcoming more than 3,500 renowned industrial and manufacturing sector representatives from over 70 countries. It brought together international industry front-runners including producers, manufacturers and processors of raw materials and end-products made with aluminium components, as well as suppliers of technologies and accessories for aluminium production, processing and refinement.
Qatalum chose to support and exhibit at Aluminium Middle East because it provided an unparalleled opportunity to explore the latest technologies and advancements from around the globe - a vital opportunity for all industry players - and to benefit from exclusive one-to-ones with high profile individuals from leading organisations and from potential partners and customers, while being able to showcase innovative products and services in an interpersonal format.
Qatalum Sales and Marketing Manager Saied Al Marri said at the end of the event: “We are extremely pleased to have taken the opportunity to support and exhibit at AMED. We took dozens of meeting with potential partners across different sectors, and it was an invaluable chance to show some of our works in progress, technological developments, and explain our plans for growth”.
CEO Tom Petter Johansen said: “Events such as Aluminium Middle East, which bring together thousands of the key decision-makers within the aluminium industry, are an unparalleled forum for debate, learning, teaching and brainstorming ideas for downstream industry development. In allowing a local, regional and global perspective of aluminium all in the same place, we are able to move forward at all three levels, and build the partnerships of the future”.
