Trade fair on building products opens

A three-day expo, showcasing the latest trends and innovations in building facades and aluminium frontages got off to a good start at Oman Convention and Exhibition Centre on Monday.

Inaugurated by Dr Rasheed bin al Safi al Huraibi Chairman of the Tender Board, the third edition of Windorex + Glass & Aluminium Oman 2018 greets visitors with an array of building exterior products.

“The trade fair represents a rapidly growing and high-value segment of the building construction industry in the Sultanate of Oman — a sector that is also being actively nurtured by Omani authorities as an enabler of economic development,” said Al Huraibi.

Windorex + Glass & Aluminium Oman 2018 is a unique exposition that showcases new products, technologies and innovations spanning key facets of the building construction industry, encompassing windows, doors, glass and aluminium structures, facades and fenestrations and sun protection systems.

Also present during the inauguration ceremony were a number of government and private sector dignitaries, and key figures representing the various stakeholders that are part of this fast-growing segment of the building and construction industry in Oman.

The event also has the robust patronage of the Housing Ministry and a number of local and regional trade agencies, notably the German Industry and Commerce Office, Oman (AHK), Advantage Austria and Iran Trade Promotion Organization.

As the only industry fair of its kind, the fair serves as a unique platform for stakeholders across the building construction sector to explore opportunities for networking, agency representation, and B2B and B2C deals.

Several leading Omani fabrication specialists and exterior designers are showcasing their products and services as well, eager to flaunt their homegrown capabilities at this prestigious event.

The fair, which will conclude on May 9, has been organised by Global Exhibitions and Conferences LLC (GEC).
