The 11th edition of Hardware +Tools ME 2010, the region’s only dedicated trade exhibition for tools, hardware, materials and machinery, will be held at the Dubai International Convention and Exhibition Centre from May 18 to 20.

“By joining hands with the Society of Engineers, we hope to be able to raise awareness among local industry professionals about the latest trends and developments in the field,” said Ahmed Pauwels, chief executive officer, Epoc Messe Frankfurt, organiser of the event.

“Hardware+Tools Middle East, which brings together the entire range of the hardware, tools, engineering and machinery industry in the region, is the ideal vehicle to propagate this message,” he added.
