Dubai, UAE: Hardware + Tools Middle East continues to be the platform of choice for global brands targeting the Middle East markets, as it is the premier trade and networking event for the industry in a fast-growing and ever-expanding region.

At the upcoming edition of the region’s premier trade show for hardware, tools, materials and machinery, a series of prominent international manufacturers will be making their regional debuts with their products and services, when the trade show opens doors in Dubai later this month.

“Hardware+Tools Middle East has a growing footprint across the region, bringing in exhibitors and trade visitors from across the wider Middle East, thus making it an ideal vehicle for global brands to launch products, interact with the trade and analyse current regional trends,” said Ahmed Pauwels, CEO of Messe Frankfurt Middle East, the organiser of Hardware+Tools Middle East.

Bringing their comprehensive range of hand tools and specialty tools to the region is Chanellock from the United States. The company is a world leader in the manufacture of high quality pliers from as far back as 1886.

International Sales Manager MogensLorenzon said: “We will introduce several new products under the Channellock brand, but most importantly we are going to introduce our new nippers for the construction market. Our new nippers are slimmer and lighter than our old version, and they require less force for cutting. We are at Hardware+Toolsto meet with our customers in the region and also to reach out to new customers.”
Also from the USA with a range of household and professional repair products including repair wraps, heat wraps, UV repair pens and rigid patches is FibreFix, which is looking at making a connection with regional traders and buyers.
