Dubai Wood Show, since its inception in 2006, has grown beyond the horizons of success and has become the only dedicated trade show in the Middle East for the wood and woodworking machinery industry. It is a convergence point for manufacturers, traders, suppliers, machinery companies and end-users in the wood industry chain.

The vast range of products showcased at the Dubai Wood Show include wood products, woodworking machinery, blades and knives, tools, abrasives, industry solutions, and much more.

The show, being highly specialized, provides the perfect opportunity for the regional and international companies to showcase and learn about wood and woodworking and to build new strategic relationships with buyers, traders and investors.

The construction sector has always been the largest single sector in the GCC where ample amount of investments are made. In particular, the UAE construction market continues to grow at a faster pace than the wider economy, fueled by infrastructure spending in Dubai. UAE is being eyed as the strongest market in terms of opportunities followed by Qatar for the year 2016.

As per the latest forecasts, the UAE construction market shall grow by 6.6% which shall give a boost to the wood and woodworking machinery industry in the region.

The value of the UAE’s construction industry is set to increase to Dh 181 billion from about Dh 162 billion in the year 2016. There is also a prediction of growth of more than 6 per cent for the following three years as Dubai ramps up spending ahead of Expo 2020. The UAE, with its strategic location, proves to be an excellent trading hub for all the imports, exports and re-exports within the GCC countries.

Dubai Wood Show has been instrumental in creating a unique platform for the Wood & Woodworking Machinery industry in the MENA region. It gives the chance to the exhibitors to display their products and services in the best possible manner in front of quality audience.

Samartex Timber & Plywood Limited has declared war on mosquitoes in its operational areas of Samraboi in the Western Region of the country.

The laudable and ambitious move has seen the leading timber firm teaming up with Envirosafe Ghana Limited, a top health safety company, to fumigate Samraboi and its catchment areas.

The five-day fumigation exercise was carried out at vantage points of the community such as market places, refuse dump areas and potential mosquito breeding sites.

Aside the fumigation exercise, Sarmatex Timber & Plywood Limited has also intensified educational campaign about how to prevent mosquito breeding and malaria infections among the people.

The important health exercise is geared towards reducing the incidence of malaria infections in Samraboi and its nearby communities to help save precious human lives.

Envirosafe Ghana Limited which is the project coordinator has pledged their readiness to partner Samartex Timber & Plywood Limited to sustain such an important cash-intensive project in the years to come.

The General Manager of Samartex Timber & Plywood Limited, Richard Nsenkyire, who is the initiator of the project, said the move forms part of his company’s corporate social responsibilities.

“The objective of the capital intensive effort is to help reduce the incidence of disease and achieve near-zero malaria deaths,” he disclosed to DAILY GUIDE during an interview.

He added, “This call to action has already resulted in intensive social mobilisation efforts and an influx of substantial increase in malaria education and prevention awareness to a large section of the community.”

Mr Nsenkyire stated that his outfit was also supplying treated bed nets, constructing and rehabilitation of drains and desilting of all choked gutters in the area as part of efforts to reduce malaria infections.

He disclosed that his company’s hospital staff have also intensified health education programmes among the community members, assuring that the commendable exercise would be sustained.
