The fast-growing economies of the Middle East are expected to prove increasingly attractive to manufacturers and suppliers of office supplies and services as they grow in stature and extent as business and finance centres, according to the organisers of Paperworld Middle East.

Growing interest in the sector is expected to impact the upcoming Paperworld Middle East 2012 favourably, feels organiser Epoc Messe Frankfurt.

“The countries of the Middle East region are growing increasingly attractive as business destinations.  The size of their expanding economies is helping to drive rapid demand for office supplies and services, meaning that events such as Paperworld Middle East have an increasingly important role to play in shaping and influencing the market,” said Ahmed Pauwels, Chief Executive Officer of Epoc Messe Frankfurt.

“Representing the entire range of office and stationery products and services, Paperworld Middle East has its finger on the pulse of the market and provides our partners with an ideal business sourcing and networking platform with considerable reach around the region,” he added.
