Bahrain to host the first aluminium & metal exhibition

The exhibition is organised by the Bahrain Convention & Exhibition Bureau (BCEB) under the patronage of H.E. Dr. Hassan Abdulla Fakhro, Ministry of Industry & Commerce, Kingdom of Bahrain.

The Gulf region and the Middle East economies are ready for a regional industrial transformation which has already begun with the Metal and Aluminum industry. At present, the region faces grave challenges due to the hot and dry climate heightened by the lack of know-how, primary materials as well as the shortage of industrial water and utilities. Thus, these two exhibitions could be the platform for the international business communities to come together to showcase their products, services and expertise.

This specialised exhibition, the first of its kind is designed to highlight Bahrain's potential in the development of metal and aluminum industries and to further develop its role as a business centre and gateway to the Middle East and Western Asia. It will highlight the favorable economic climate which has created an immense opportunity for the metalworking industries, especially in the construction, heavy equipment, transport sectors, gas, oil and petrochemical industrials and the overall infrastructural growth.
