“Our agreement with EUMABOIS, a federation that produces more than 56% of the world's output of woodworking machinery, not only boosts the position of Dubai WoodShow globally, but also transfers industry development and knowledge in the fields of technology and science,” said Dawood Al Shezawi, CEO, Strategic Marketing & Exhibitions, organisers of the Dubai WoodShow. “The Woodshow in Dubai, which will take place from 4 to 6 April 2016, represents an ideal meeting place for the industry players worldwide, and presents a significant opportunity for European manufacturers who wish to tap into the Middle East's growing market.”

“Many trade visitors find in Dubai WoodShow a platform to clinch major deals on new wood making machineries, and benefit from the competitive business environment at the venue.
