Dubai, UAE -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/14/2011 -- Rapid advances in technology and the increasing availability of laser cutting machinery that can be adapted to varying needs, has fuelled a boom in global demand for these products. According to market research by Global Industry Analysts, demand for laser cutting machinery is expected to reach US$13.8 billion by 2015, propelling manufacturers to increase production.*

In a related development, the growth in environmental consciousness has led to an increase in demand for green building standards to be applied in the woodworking sector. According to industry experts there is a growing demand for the use of certified, sustainably produced wood products in the construction industry. Woodworking technologies are also evolving with the increasing use of computer-aided design and laser cutting technologies that save on energy and costs.**

“With woodworking, welding and laser cutting machinery becoming increasingly versatile and adapting to the changing needs of the market, we expect to see more and more people opting for these methods to meet their cutting and designing needs,” said Ahmed Pauwels, Chief Executive Officer of Epoc Messe Frankfurt, organiser of Hardware+Tools Middle East, which will feature a range of laser cutting machinery and technology and a wide range of woodworking machinery and tools.

“As manufacturers respond to the greater demand and the evolving realities of the market, the supply of sustainable wood products will become increasingly common. Energy-efficient woodworking tools and laser cutters have become more affordable and now come in a variety of specifications,” Pauwels added.

”Hardware+Tools Middle East will showcase the latest trends and developments in woodworking machinery, welding and laser cutting tools to designers, manufacturers, architects, construction professionals, engineers and other trade visitors from the wider Middle East region,” he added.
