Caddie's quality consciousness and attention to detail is evident from the ergonomically-designed 'Cadergo' trolley that is on display at the exhibition. Electro-conducive plastic stripping in the handle to reduce static electricity discharges, a patented special paint that prevents corrosion and can retain its original colour even after years in direct sunlight, abrasive-resistant material are some of the niche features of this Cadergo trolley whose height and the pushing angle has been specifically designed to suit women.

"The tremendous market potential arising out of the burgeoning supermarkets and hyper markets and the booming hotel industry in the U.A.E. has prompted Caddie to make its presence felt in the 2005 Retail Middle East Exhibition," says Mr. Todd Brown, International Area Manager, Caddie who has come to Sharjah/Dubai to specifically attend this exhibition.

Caddie has directly supplied trolleys and shopping carts to the Lulu Centres and Carrefour hyper markets across the region, the recent entrant Geant and also the recently inaugurated Ibn Battuta Mall. AGA, Caddie's local representative, has been a regular supplier of trolleys and shopping carts to Abu Dhabi Cooperative Society, Sharjah Cooperative Society and Union Cooperative Society.

"Already having a distinct presence in retail distribution and supermarkets across the Gulf region, Caddie is geared to make greater inroads into the hospitality industry, hotels/ restaurants, airports, hospitals/clinics, and retirement homes," says Mr. Brown.

Also on view at the AGA stall is the state-of-the-art GS2 System from Gatekeeper Systems Inc. ("Gatekeeper"), France - provider of shopping trolley security and trolley-based anti-theft systems to the retail industry.

The purchekTM from Gatekeeper provides a cutting edge for the retailers in the battle against 'pushout' theft. This new product leverages the GS Technology Platform to provide the only in-store anti-theft solution with an integrated locking wheel.

"Retail Middle East, 2005 - one of the key events meant for the various retail industry participants -has provided a perfect platform for Gatekeeper to expand its horizons with the help of AGA, its regional representative," appreciated Mr. Stéphane Dedieu, General Manager, Gatekeeper Systems, who is also here to attend the exhibition.
