R+T Middle East, a leading trade show dedicated to roller shutters, doors, gates and sun protection, will hold a GCC-wide roadshow from April with stops in Oman, Qatar, Bahrain and Kuwait ahead of its debut in Dubai next month.

R+T Middle East will run from May 10 to 12 at the Dubai International Convention and Exhibition Centre, concurrently with Domotex Middle East 2010, the dedicated trade show for carpets and floor coverings.

The roadshow seeks to leverage the strong growth potential in the region for specialised sun protection, doors/gates, windows and access control systems, as in the GCC alone construction projects being undertaken from 2009 to 2011 have been estimated to reach $1.1 trillion in total value, a statement said.

"We are receiving a very positive response from developers, contractors and distributors across the GCC for the R+T Middle East,” said Angela Schaschen, managing director, Deutsche Messe Dubai Branch, co-organiser of the event.

“Being the region's pioneering trade event for sun protection, doors/gates and access control systems, R+T Middle East definitely brings optimal value as it creates a more convenient, accessible and high-profile networking platform for all stakeholders in the construction and related industries,” she added.

“The roadshow aims to further enhance the value proposition of R+T Middle East by providing an exciting preview of the event, while also allowing us to interact and determine the specific requirements of our target markets."

R+T Middle East 2010 will feature a comprehensive range of products and services, including roller shutters and accessories; windows, window shutters and accessories; awnings; Venetian blinds and roller blinds; doors/gates and accessories; drive and control systems; electrical security equipment; business fittings and furnishings; and technical literature. – TradeArabia News Service
