WHAT EXHIBITORS SAY ABOUT US I would like to thank you all WOP team who helped to organize this excellent event, it was indeed an advantageous exhibition for us where we met numerous new and old suppliers/customers from all around the world which was a key to new businesses. We hope to see you next year & best wishes for 2014! WOP 2013 was a true success for Marhaba as we got to showcase our company, brand and products to a wider audience. I would like to thank Dubai Municipality, planetfair and Messe Essen for their exceptional work on delivering a bigger and better exhibition. I am sure 2014 will also be a success and you can count on Marhaba to be an avid supporter of this prestigious event. Our Company AlBakrawe Group has participated for the first time at the WOP DUBAI 2013 & was surprised at the openness & positive response of this group of customers & cultural environment, which has been new to us. All in all, we were able to make lots of interesting contacts. The trade fair presence has surpassed our expectations, which is why we have a positive outlook on further participations. WOP Dubai is a good forum to launch new business in the Middle East for fresh foods. At North Bay Produce we have found that a quite forum with a good buying community is more important than large and less focused giant tradeshows. WOP provide us with quality contacts and a nice environment to meet them in.
