Tube Arabia is part of the already successful Tekno exhibition. The Tekno
2009 event will be the 9th “International Trade Fair for Industrial Machinery,
Metalworking, Machine Tools, Dies / Molds and Tubes & Pipes”. Tube Arabia
featured as a separate section for the first time in 2007. An additional special
section in this year’s fair 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.
Tekno addresses the specific requirements of an industrialising economy
as it showcases the following exhibition sub sections in addition to Tube
Arabia: The Arab International Industrial Machinery Show (AIM); International
Machine Tools &MetalworkingMachinery Show (IMT); International Exhibition
for Wires, Fasteners and Cables Industry (WIRE); International Woodworking
Machinery and Equipment Exhibition (WOODMEX); International Welding
Exhibition (INTER-WELD) and the International Exhibition for Molds and Dies
(MOLDEX).
In this section of the magazine we will be reporting on a selection of
companies that are exhibiting at Tube Arabia 2009 and what they will be
displaying at the event.
