Dubai again hosts ARABLAB, the analytical industry’s most powerful annual trade show, together with ENVIROTEC@ARABLAB, the brand new International Show for Tomorrow’s Environmental Technology.

Dubai will again host ARABLAB, the laboratory and instrumentation industry’s biggest international show in the Middle East and Asia, and the only event that covers all of the important growth markets of the Middle East, China, the Indian sub-continent, south-east Asia and Africa. Now in its 32nd year, ARABLAB has grown from just 40 pioneering exhibitors from a handful of countries to some 900 of the industry’s leading companies from all over the globe, focussing on laboratory technology, biotechnology, nanotechnology, environmental sciences, robotics and automation, analytical instrumentation, and measurement and testing, and is regarded by the industry as one of the most important annual events in the calendar, giving access to the world’s most vibrant petrochemical sector and providing an introduction to the world’s biggest biotechnology market. All the industry’s foremost companies will be exhibiting, with national groups from Austria, China, Germany, India, Korea, Spain, Switzerland, Taiwan, and the United Kingdom, and with many seeking distributors throughout the region.

More visitors, more opportunities
ARABLAB 2014 welcomed more than 11,000 visitors from over 100 countries, representing just about every discipline, grain technicians and forensic criminologists, university professors and industrial chemists, molecular geneticists and metallurgists, medical researchers and marine scientists, who came to Dubai to evaluate and purchase the latest technology and equipment.
Jean-Claude Alder, General Manager for Mettler-Toledo Sales International GmbH said ARABLAB “creates a wonderful environment that allows a good amount of face time with lab equipment manufacturers from around the world. It helps to advance the lab equipment industry in general and gives our clients and prospects a chance to discuss their most pressing lab challenges with our international team of experts.”
