Industry speaks
Traditionally, exhibitions are known to feature local players but VisionPlus EXPO is set to establish new benchmarks by inviting international players to showcase their best in Dubai, the city that is centrally located for the buyers in the MENA region and South Asia.
This makes the trade fair an excellent opportunity to get all the big names under one roof. The optical trade community all over the globe is looking forward to this exhibition. Here is what some of the biggies have to say.
Mounir Balghouthi, Sales Manager of Schneider Optical Machines says, “Dubai is a very important location for us due to its economic prosperity. It is the city of inspiration and an exciting hub for the Europe Middle East region. The market is growing very fast and we are excited to shape it. The VisionPlus Expo Dubai, from what we have learned so far, seems to be a great platform for us. The show offers us a unique opportunity to display our machines and technologies. It will be a great asset for creating new business and connecting to optical players from the middle East Region – which is great –but also from Africa and the South Asian Region.”
James Um, CEO from ick lens, says, “I think this is an excellent opportunity to showcase our portfolio to the global community coming to the Middle East from all over the globe. The pandemic has been a difficult phase for all of us, both personally and professionally. However, the optical industry has welcomed the challenge as an opportunity and we have seen some interesting innovations. This expo is an excellent platform that will bring together the stalwarts of the trade. We are looking forward to the grand event!”
Nicolò Costanzo, Managing Director of Italian Fair Service, the Italian trade agency partnering with VisionPlus Expo says he is very excited about this event, primarily because of the location. “ We are very glad to be associated with this project as it is happening in Dubai! It is the hub of a huge region, which cover Middle East, Africa and South of Asia. It is a touristic city and very fashion centric. And the event is taking place during World Expo 2020, which is great. This exhibition can be the point of contact for many professionals that don’t need to travel to other international events.
Considering the cancellation of important international fairs due to covid, we really are excited about Vision Plus Expo which will happen for sure in October.
We as Italian Fair Service are organising the Italian Pavilion, where many Italian excellent companies will exhibit. So we welcome all international companies as well as international visitors in the eyewear industry to attend the Vision Plus Expo from
