“We are delighted to see the event, which has become known locally as Al Bateen Expo, continue to grow,” commented chairman, Yousif Al Hammadi. “We expect an even greater range of companies from an increased geographical range and wider number of services to attend. We’re also looking forward to welcoming a number of world previews from our exhibitors.”
