Tekno/Tube Arabia 2009 has been
preponed by one day, with the organisers
announcing the new dates as 10-13
January 2009. These major concurrent
exhibitions, co-organised by Al Fajer
Information & Service and Messe
Düsseldorf, will take place for the second
time in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
Held again at the Dubai International
Exhibition Centre, the 2009 event will be
the 9th international trade fair for industrial
machinery, metalworking, machine tools,
dies/moulds and tube/pipe. However,
Tube Arabia featured as a separate
section for the first time in 2007. An
additional special section next year will
be Moldex 2009.
Tekno brings together the world’s leading
manufacturers, sellers and buyers of light,
medium and heavy machinery in a dynamic
and vibrant Gulf market aggressively
developing its industrial sector as a hedge
against the uncertainty of oil prices.
Flush with capital funds from an increase in
the price of oil, Middle East countries have
established industrial areas, while major
industrial projects have grown steadily.
Many free zones have been established
which have succeeded in attracting a
number of diversified industries.
Tekno addresses the specific requirements
of an industrializing economy. The event
showcases a number of other exhibition
sub-sections in addition to Tube Arabia.
These include Arab International Industrial
Machinery Show (AIM), International
Machine Tools & Metalworking Machinery
Dhatec, the Netherlands, has moved to a
major new production and office facility in
Bergeijk. The move to the new building,
which is close to the company’s original
location, was carried out in order to
accommodate future product developments
and increase current stock and production
capacity.
A specialist in pipe-end protection since
1991, Dhatec has continually broadened
its product programme and made strides
in technical research and developments.
The company now offers a range of
solutions to maintain the quality of
linepipes from pipe mill through to
construction site.
The Dhatec range covers processes such
as blasting, coating, handling, storage
and transport. The company was in need
of larger facilities to accommodate this
expanded linepipe logistics range.
The new building in Bergeijk fits the bill
and provides the necessary space for the
company’s expanded product programme.
