Qatar Detergent Company (QDC) will support the upcoming ‘Made in Qatar’ exhibition as a sector sponsor, Qatar Chamber (QC) has said in a statement.
This is the first time that the event, scheduled from November 6 to 9 in Saudi capital Riyadh, is being held outside Qatar.
Speaking at the agreement signing ceremony, QDC general manager Hamdy Abu-elkassem said the company’s new factory opened recently in Mesaieed Industrial City and will contribute to increasing exports to GCC, Arab and Mena markets. “It will be a push towards global markets,” he noted.
The official stressed his confidence in the Qatari products to be able to compete globally, adding that the event “reflected the booming economy of Qatar”.
Qatar Chamber director general Saleh Hamad al-Sharqi said QC appreciated this initiative from the company, which would further help in holding a successful exhibition and enhance its role in developing Qatar’s industry.
He thanked the company for the co-operation, praising its leading role in the field of detergent products and its contribution to the industrial sector in general.
The four-day exhibition aims to attract investment in the manufacturing sector while promoting and showcasing locally manufactured products in Saudi markets.
The exhibition will include a selection of products from leading Qatari companies, along with small and medium businesses, in order to introduce Qatari products to the Saudi business community.
It also aims to promote Qatar’s industry sector and encourage the use of Qatari products, while updating the Saudi business community on the latest developments in participating sectors.
The number of participants at the exhibition, including leading companies and factories, is expected to double, compared to the previous edition, which attracted more than 220 companies and factories.
Al-Sharqi recently emphasised that the exhibition was a “big chance” for many local firms and institutions to exchange experiences and secure business deals with their Saudi counterparts, as well as strengthen Qatar-Saudi economic partnership.
