Over 70 firms to attend five-in-one INTEX Oman

Dec 3: The iconic Oman Convention & Exhibition Centre (OCEC) provides a splendid backdrop for the maiden edition of INTEX Oman, a multi-category industrial trade fair that spotlights five distinct growth areas of the Sultanate’s increasingly diversifying non-oil economy.

Dr Rasheed bin al Safi al Huraibi, Chairman of the Tender Board, will formally inaugurate this unique trade show in Hall No 2 of this prestigious venue on December 5.

Organised by leading Omani events management firm Global Exhibition and Conferences LLC (GEC), the three-day expo brings under one roof five standalone exhibitions: (i) AQUATEX OMAN — water and wastewater processing technologies, (ii) RENERGEX OMAN — renewable and sustainable energy, (iii) ELTEX OMAN — electrical equipment and technology, (iv) Pumps and Valves — pumps, valves, pipes and compressors, and (v) MTEX OMAN — manufacturing technology.

Their convergence on one platform promises to unlock crosssectoral synergies and business opportunities on a scale that will have hugely beneficial portends for the wider economy, while also accelerating the growth of non-oil sectors.

Exhibitor interest in this firstever five-in-one expo has been huge. More than 70 leading equipment manufacturers and service providers hailing from countries across Europe, Asia and the Middle East are taking part in INTEX Oman.

Together, they represent over 150 world-leading brands spanning all five segment categories being spotlighted in this singular trade expo.

Given the immense business opportunities that can be unleashed by a multi-category industrial fair of this scope and magnitude, various government ministries and trade bodies have extended their wholehearted support for INTEX Oman.

Leading the line-up is the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, which has enthusiastically endorsed the trade show.

Also extending support are the Public Authority for Small and Medium Enterprises Development (Riyada), the Oman Chamber of Commerce and Industry, the Public Establishment for Industrial Estates, UK Trade and Invest, Advantage Austria and the German Industry & Commerce, among a host of trade associations from across the globe.
