Dubai Woodshow 2008, the largest wood and wood machinery exhibition in the Middle East, is set to achieve a 100 per cent growth in exhibitor participation, according to organisers.

Scheduled to take place from February 5 - 7, 2008, the event will move to a larger exhibition space at the Dubai Airport Expo, said Strategic Marketing & Exhibitions, the event organisers.

The expo will cover an area of 16,000 sq ft. 

Visitor turnout is also expected to soar 150 per cent in comparison with the previous edition, the organisers said.

Delegations from more than 25 countries will be present at the show, which will include companies looking to showcase their products and services varying from plywood, medium-density fibreboard (MDF), veneer, laminates, parquet, and paper and treatment products to wood and woodworking machinery.

Maintaining its popularity among a distinct group of established construction professionals, Dubai Woodshow 2008 is set to draw in a large number of interior designers, architects, engineers, timber merchants, furniture and building material manufacturers, carpenters, wholesale dealers and retailers. – TradeArabia News Service
