Dubai WoodShow 2016 to showcase exquisite wood and woodworking material
Organisers of the 11th edition of Dubai WoodShow 2016, the largest trade fair for wood products in the Middle East which will take place from 4th to 6th April, 2016, has revealed that the UAE imported approximately 412,400 cubic metres softwood lumber from main European and North American exporters between January and July 2015, according to a recent Woodstat industry report.
Romania is the biggest exporter of softwood lumber to the UAE with a volume of 233,000 m3, while Germany came second with a volume of 101,000 m3. The collective exports of Austria, Russia, Canada and Ukraine to the UAE amounted to 78,000 m3 of softwood lumber.
Adding to last year’s edition of the leading show, seven national pavilions of USA, Spain, France, Malaysia, Sweden, Canada and China participated at the show. Dubai WoodShow 2016 will open doors for other pavilions, including Turkey and India. This expansion is expected to further boost the show’s reputation, compared to last year’s record growth of 33% increase in exhibitors over 2014.
The 11th edition is set to put on display all kinds of both softwood products made of cedar, fir, pine, redwood, or hardwood products from ash, birch, cherry, mahogany, maple, oak, poplar, teak, and walnut.
“Dubai WoodShow showcases exquisite wood and woodworking material,” said Dawood Al Shezawi, CEO, Strategic Marketing and Exhibitions, organisers of the Dubai WoodShow. “The exhibition allows customers in the Middle East to have access to wood products and accessories of top-most quality. Our distinct advantage this year is not just in the number of exhibitors but the new product launches that will use the exhibition floor to target the regional market.”
