2008 China Sourcing Fairs in Dubai Expand 60 Percent; Event Is The Largest China-products Exhibition in The Middle East. Global Sources Expands 2008 Dubai Show by Over 60 Percent to Include Greater China Manufacturers of Gifts and Home Products, Electronics and Fashion Accessories.
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates, May 29 /Xinhua-PRNewswire-FirstCall/ –
Global Sources (Nasdaq: GSOL) announced today that its three upcoming China
Sourcing Fairs in Dubai will be over 60% larger this year. The China
Sourcing Fairs: Gifts & Home Products, Electronics, and Fashion
Accessories, will feature manufacturers from Greater China. The co-located
events will be held June 9-11, 2008, at the Dubai International Convention
& Exhibition Centre.
Global Sources’ executive director, Sarah Benecke, said: “We are
exceptionally pleased at the commitment Greater China suppliers are making
to the Middle East and to the event this year. The China Sourcing Fairs in
Dubai are now the largest China-products exhibition in the Middle East.”
The China Sourcing Fairs in Dubai serve importers and volume buyers in
the Middle East and North Africa region who seek high quality products from
competitive suppliers in Greater China. More than 7,100 buyers from 95
different countries attended last year’s inaugural event.
More exhibitors, more product categories
While the 2007 Fair focused on Chinese exhibitors of gifts and home
products, this year’s show will again feature hundreds of gifts and home
products exhibitors, plus add full exhibition halls of electronics and
fashion accessories.
“As product life cycles shorten and companies look for new, exciting
products from innovative and creative suppliers, we are thrilled to be able
to offer buyers from around the region an even larger exhibition and
expanded product categories from which they can choose,” Benecke said.
“Product variety, reliable suppliers and cost-effective products have
become even more important in this year of rising inflation,” said Bill
Janeri, Global Sources’ general manager of the Middle East. “Buyers in the
Middle East are actively looking for new ways to attract consumers, and
finding new and interesting products that can deliver reasonable margins is
one way they are doing it,” Janeri added.
