305 participants from 36 countries—almost 40% of which came from the Middle East, Africa and Asiatook part in the first ever Middle East Nonwovens Symposium and Tabletop Exhibition in Dubai on February 20-21.

The symposium featured 13 speakers from both regional and global companies, illustrating several of the nonwovens growth markets including geotextiles and protective apparel, whilst some 35 companies from various European countries as well as Jordan, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, India and Pakistan also promoted their products and services at the event.

With a positive outlook in terms of its demographics and economics, the Middle East is expected to be one of the world’s fastest areas of growth for nonwovens and related products in the future.
