Danube Building Materials launched US-made ‘Chemetal’ metal laminates at the 'Dubai International Wood & Wood Machinery Show 2009’, which opened today (April 21).

The company also announced that its appointment as the exclusive distributor of the leading brand in the GCC.

Europe-made wall papers, ‘Kingsa’ fibre cement boards, and German-technology manufactured ‘Bruserstang’ parquet floorings, were also among Danube’s new launches at the event.

“The pull of 'Dubai International Wood & Wood Machinery Show’ among local as well as global trade and industry visitors underlines the importance of establishing a prominent presence in this show,” said Rizwan Sajan, chairman, Danube Building Materials.

The company’s participation in the event is in line with its regional expansion plans, which involved the recent opening of the first ever ‘Buildmart’, a state-of-the-art retail complex in Ras Al Khaimah and subsequently another branch in Bahrain.

The multimillion retail complexes feature products that are installed in an actual home set-up, thereby allowing for greater convenience and a customer-friendly shopping experience.

The stores are each divided into twenty-four different sections, and offer customers a wide range of building materials and design options as well as expert advice from highly-trained professionals on the best products, design materials and other design-related inquiries through the ‘Design Centre’.-TradeArabia News Service
