Important opportunity

“Since the Qatalum smelter will come on stream around the end of this year, we think it's important to be at the Aluminium Dubai exhibition and use the opportunity to meet potential customers,” says Tuschar Biswal, Hydro's representative at the fair.

“It's important for us to be there to start building up a market in the Middle East and to get in touch with cooperation partners."

The Aluminium Dubai fair is one of the leading exhibition and meeting places for the aluminium industry in the Middle East. Around 3,000 visitors are expected at this year’s event.
