Over 11.42 million square metres of projects approved in 2009 alone, driving demand for roller shutters, doors, gates and sun-protection systems
R+T Middle East 2010, the Middle East spinoff of the world's leading show for roller shutters, doors, gates and sun-protection systems, has announced that it will tap into Lebanon's huge market potential in light of growing investment activities in the country, which is expected to help boost commercial and industrial development. In 2009 alone, Lebanon witnessed a 6 per cent increase in construction permits to reach more than 11.42 million square meters of approved projects, a remarkable growth that has been further enhanced by improving availability of capital with local banks collectively reaching nearly USD 90 billion of liquidity.
R+T Middle East 2010 will open the gateway for developers of industrial, commercial as well as residential developments to access a premium selection of world-class automatic garage, industrial doors, and roller shutters. Jointly organised by Deutsche Messe Dubai Branch and Messe Stuttgart, R+T Middle East 2010 will be held from May 10 to 12 at the new exhibition halls of the Dubai International Convention and Exhibition Centre.
The event will showcase 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. R+T Middle East 2010 will be concurrently held with DOMOTEX Middle East 2010, the MENA region's only dedicated carpets and floor coverings exhibition.
Angela Schaschen, Managing Director, Deutsche Messe Dubai Branch, said: "The enthusiasm of both local and foreign investors in Lebanon has been unprecedented. In addition, Lebanese living abroad, who are estimated to reach over 12 million, are likewise a significant source of capital that has been fuelling the development initiatives across the country. Doors, gates and various security-related solutions are key components of all these development projects. As such, numerous developers in the country are now actively scouting for the most advanced solutions that fit their security needs. R+T Middle East 2010 will certainly be a convenient platform for both buyers and sellers to discuss business opportunities."
Electronic roller shutters, a regular fixture in industrial and commercial facilities, is a key product category expected to achieve a surge in demand in the country as they offer numerous applications, including doors for vans, garages, warehouses and even in detention facilities. They are also being used in residential properties as they are best suited for weather protection, thermal insulation, anti-glare protection, and even sound insulation and burglary protection.
R+T Middle East is under the technical and conceptual sponsorship of the Federal Association for Manufacturers of Roller shutters and Sun protection (Bundesverband Rollladen + Sonnenschutz e.V.) and the National Federation of Door and Gate Manufacturers (BVT - Verband Tore). The German-based Messe Stuttgart, the organiser of R+T is the internationally renowned name in roller shutters and sun protection exhibitions with shows in three prominent construction material markets: R+T Stuttgart in Germany, the leading global trade fair of its kind; R+T Asia in Shanghai, China, which focuses on Asian and Chinese markets; and R+T Middle East in Dubai, which will cater to MENA markets.
