Danube launches House of Laminates at Dubai Woodshow 2007

The prestigious exhibition dedicated to the wood industry is the perfect platform for Danube to consolidate its presence in the market by presenting the largest collection of laminates under one roof.

The House of Laminates that was recently commended by Salma Ali Saif Bin Hareb, CEO, JAFZA, is presented in a wide range of colors, textures and finishes, dramatically increasing the choice available to interior designers and consultants. Some of the unique finishes are leather, bamboo and the real veneer look, which combines the superiority of laminate with the texture of real wood veneer. The laminates, which come in different thickness and sizes, are designed from different locations and by leading designers. The brands that will be featured are Royal Touché, Metallika Metal Laminates, Oberflex (real wood veneer laminates), Braided Wood Veneer Laminates and Polyrey (European collection). All Danube showrooms carry dedicated displays for the House of Laminates with specially trained staff to assist customers.

"The new collection is a testament of our dedication to provide the Middle East market with the best and the latest laminates in the world. The award-winning quality of these products has won adulation and acceptance from architects and interior designers as well as consumers worldwide," said Rizwan Sajan, Chairman of Danube.

The Dubai Woodshow 2007 will bring together manufacturers, traders, suppliers and distributors of plywood, MDF, veneer, laminates, parquet, paper products, treatment products, wood processing and wood machinery. The event will be attended by timber merchants, interior designers, furniture manufacturers, carpenters, architects, engineers, wholesale dealers, retailers, building material manufacturers and construction suppliers.

"The Dubai Woodshow is an important part of our overall strategy to widen our circle of contacts, to exhibit our latest offerings in a three-dimensional way and to enable us to interact with key persons in the industry from the UAE and the Gulf,"

added Sajan.
