Testimonials

“The region is in the process of developing many new things and so such events are an encouragement for people to come and visit, and look for new products and technologies. The event had good participation from nearby countries like Turkey, Egypt, Oman and Qatar.”

Batul Bharmal

AGM - Sales (Export), Crest Speciality Resins
“Companies like us don’t have a platform where we can market ourselves, so we usually go to our clients and get business. But there are still many clients who don’t know about us. In such cases, exhibitions like this play a huge role in connecting with potential clients.”

Manoj Raipancholia

Managing Director, Modest Marketing
“It's always good to have such an event. You can have a break from work and meet your colleagues from the industry, meet your competitors, customers, your principal suppliers and get to know the new products and technologies in the market.”

Fahad Badroos

Distribution Sales Manager, Construction
“It was great to see strong representation from the Asia-Pacific region, with key customers from India and China. Composites are emerging as a vital alternative to traditional materials like metal, offering benefits such as lightweight properties and flame retardance. Raising awareness about these advantages is crucial, and events like this play a significant role in promoting our products. Overall, I had a productive experience connecting with suppliers and collaborating with customers. Looking forward to the next edition!”

Mr. Biju Krishnankutty

Regional Technical Manager, Scott Bader
“I'm very happy to participate here in MECAM and this is our second edition. And we're looking forward to having a very good response from MECAM and we hope that it will continue. As manufacturers of polyester and unsaturated polyester resins, we are collaborating with INEOS to introduce new products and expand our market share in KSA. MECAM provides the ideal platform to connect with key players in the composites industry.”

Mohammed Ashfaq Mohsin

Program Manager, Saudi Industrial Resins Limited
“We are here in MECAM to market our product and raise awareness about our company. Our main target markets are the Middle East and Africa. At MECAM, we had the opportunity to meet competitors, customers, traders, and new contacts from these regions, which will help us build a strong brand presence.”

Ahmed Azuka

“The best aspect of the MECAM event is the presence of numerous brands focused on sustainable products, which is crucial in light of climate change. Platforms like MECAM bring industry professionals together under one roof, fostering connections, networking, and business opportunities.

I will definitely be attending next year.”

Visitor sharing insights on the 2nd edition of the Middle East Composites and Advanced Materials Expo 2024.
“The main reason I visit the MECAM Expo is to connect with industry peers, while also discovering new suppliers and potential customers. Many of these initial connections often develop into friendships, and, in some cases, even business partnerships. The biggest takeaway from this event is not only finding new customers and suppliers but also witnessing exciting developments in fields we are not currently involved in. This opens up potential opportunities for future expansion.”
