Saudi Arabia-based Al Abdullatif Group sees the Index exhibition as a key to future success, said a top official.

The Al Abdullatif Group has been established since 1990 and has grown into a large organisation represented worldwide in leading markets as a primary supplier of carpets and related products.

The group's strength lies with its team and their expertise in producing quality products to meet international standards.

With the most up to date technology available the group has the ability to produce almost everything required for the completed product under one roof.

The constant success of Al Abdullatif Group is based on a continuous evaluation of market needs and customer communication.

The flagship sector of the group is Saudi Carpets Factory, with a wide product range including tufted, woven and printed carpets. The company point to high levels of innovation as their key to success in a highly competitive marketplace.

This pioneering strategy is one of the many reasons the company excels in exporting its product to over 56 countries, and sees the Index exhibition as a key to future success.

Abdullatif Group chairman Ahmed Abdullatif said: "One of the main reasons for participating at this year's Index show is the simple fact that it is the largest furniture and interiors event in the Middle East.

"Our main target market is represented in this region with over 80 per cent of sales accredited to the Middle East. However it is natural to give special emphasis to a potential collection of international buyers all gathered at the same exhibition."

Bernard Walsh, managing director of dmg world media Dubai, said: "GCC exhibitors are well aware that Index provides a multitude of platforms for business.

"Companies from KSA for example, now realise the importance of capturing international buyers as well as the specialists based in the Middle East.

"The interior design industry is the second largest contributor to trade in the region."

Dubai's annual Index Exhibition will be held at the Dubai International Exhibition Centre between September 22 and 26.

Index, is the leading exhibition for international interior design, furniture, furnishings and shopfitting industries in the Middle East, and is now in its 14th year and annually welcomes over 33, 000 visitors and 1,500 exhibitors on more than 26,000 m2 of floor space.
