Another year of growth and development looks set for Beautyworld Middle East as partnership agreements are renewed for the 2013 edition. With year on year sales up significantly on the previous year, and return exhibitors taking as much as 33% more space, 2013 promises to be a fruitful time for the Middle East region’s international trade fair for beauty products, hair, fragrances and well being.
Local UAE company B-Connected has signed up as the biggest single exhibitor in the show’s 17 year history. B-Connected first attended Beautyworld Middle East with a 12 sqm stand which was then upsized to a 163 sqm stand for the 2012 edition. Satisfied with the results, B-Connected will occupy over 300 sqm for the 2013 edition.
Latest show updates include the renewal of a five year contract with long term partner Madi International on the Walk of Beauty. Featuring the most talented professional hairdressers and make-up artists from the GCC, the Walk of Beauty has been an integral feature of Beautyworld Middle East for over eight years and is a much anticipated attraction at the show.
Furthermore, Nazih Trading, for the third consecutive year, will organise the nail competition in association with OPI. Nail It! By OPI has established itself as a significant attraction for the 22,000+ trade visitors to the exhibition.
“The special features at Beautyworld Middle East bring increased variety and excitement to the show floor. While the core value of the exhibition lies in the individual exhibitor showcases, the special features add to the overall show experience and also create additional platforms from which business can be conducted at the fair,” said Ahmed Pauwels, CEO of organiser Epoc Messe Frankfurt.
Madi International is a leading distributor for a range of internationally renowned brands for the salon supply business across the region. With offices in UAE, Kuwait, Lebanon and Saudi Arabia, amongst the brands under the Madi International portfolio are Wella, Kadus, Essie, Thalgo and Maya Beauty, to name a few.
Mr. Mohammed Madi, President of Madi International Group, said: “We have been working closely with Epoc Messe Frankfurt to organise the Walk of Beauty for many years and value the strong partnership we have developed. The Walk of Beauty is an excellent backdrop for live demonstrations within the professional beauty sector and each year we continue to develop new contacts and make new business deals at Beautyworld Middle East.”
The region’s leading distributor of worldwide brands, Nazih Group has been exhibiting at Beautyworld Middle East since its inception 17 years ago. Amongst the brands under the Nazih umbrella are OPI, Schwarzkopf, Keratin Complex, Guinot, BayBliss and Revlon to name a few.
Nazih Hamad, Managing Director, Nazih Group, said: ‘We have been exhibiting at Beautyworld Middle East for as long as I can remember. Each year we take a larger stand and gain great value from our participation. Partnering with one of the leading brands under our portfolio, Nail It! by OPI came into fruition. Being involved with the nail competition at Beautyworld Middle East has brought us further reach and it is a great platform for securing even more business leads through the exhibition as well as for further positioning ourselves as leaders in our field.”
Some of the other features which will take place during Beautyworld Middle East 2013 include Face It! a professional make-up competition; Hair Education, a professional hairdressing demonstration and the Fragrance Station, which showcases a range of the perfumes which can be found on the show floor in one convenient location.
