IPM Expo to be opened by HH Sheikh Ahmed today

The event runs from March 6 to 8 at the Airport Expo Dubai

'We have been instrumental in attracting an increasing number of companies from Latin America, Asia and Africa at our facility. These companies are keen to locate their base at the Dubai Flower Centre because of Dubai's logistical and geographic advantages and of course the superior facilities that are available at the centre,' said DFC Marketing Director, Ibrahim Ahli.

Mr. Ahli noted that DFC would use the event as a platform to demonstrate their commitment to the industry's growth and the role DFC has played during the past year. 'We believe our participation along with a strong contingent of our tenants will add a whole new element to the show this year,' he said.

The DFC pavilion at IPM Dubai will demonstrate to visitors how the centre operates as a one-stop shop for local and international buyers, traders and exporters. Other features such as a closed loop supply chain system that ensures the right temperature from aircraft to the climate-controlled zone, a supply chain intelligence that offers state-of-the-art computerized tracking system, and a business-friendly free-zone environment will all be featured at our pavilion at IPM Dubai 2007.

The 115-square meter Tenant pavilion, located adjacent to our pavilion, will have Alissar Flowers, Andean Arabian Flowers, Arabian Flowers, Ceylinco Foliage, Global Flora Partners, Kampac Flora,

Rioroses, Shirin Flowers and Van Bohemen Flowers. These companies represent a cross-section of what Dubai Flower Centre offers in general. Trade visitors to the show will have an opportunity to taste the different flavours from various regions of the world through our tenants, who will be showcasing the latest style, design and trends.

IPM Dubai acts as one of the most ideal networking and business platforms for plant producers, seed traders, developers, authorities, municipal garden authorities, garden centers, horticulturists & landscape gardeners, engineering, horticulture firms, florists, retail flower traders, retailers, hotels management, wholesalers, among others.
