Al Aqili Furnishings (AAF) was the main sponsor of Qatar’s four-day Infdex Exhibition which opened on May 18.
Showcasing its Officeland division during Infdex, AAF was also the largest exhibitor at the exhibition with an impressive 3,000 sq ft stand.
This is the first time AAF has participated in Infdex, underlining Qatar’s growing importance to the company as it embarks on a dynamic plan for regional expansion throughout 2008 and beyond.
“Al Aqili Furnishings has achieved significant success and growth in the UAE over the last 10 years, and we have built a $100 million business on a solid foundation of infrastructure investment and a reputation for high-quality products and high standards of service,” said AAF’s group marketing director Shahriar Khodjasteh.
“We are now focused on expanding our regional capabilities and retail footprint as part of our expected continued growth plans throughout 2008 and beyond. Qatar is currently undergoing its own enormous growth phase, indicated by the expected staggering GDP growth rate of 14.3 per cent for 2008 and the amount of construction and real estate development in progress.”
With the additional demand for flooring and interior solutions for the plethora of new project developments in the country, Qatar’s Infdex 2008 was an ideal platform for the company to introduce its brand to the industry’s key players and decision makers, the official said.
A wide range of office and flooring solutions from AAF’s Officeland were on display, including executive lines in full saddle leather from i4Mariani – Italy; patented Glide-Tec chairs from Grammer Office – Germany; stylish and yet ergonomic chairs from Sitia – Italy; metal storage systems from Dieffebi – Italy; as well as system furniture and bench systems from Exbydo – Czech Republic.
The company also showcased its corporate flooring products from the world’s largest producers, Shaw Contract and Masland Contract.

With a rich understanding of individual market segments, Shaw Contract Group designs and delivers innovative flooring solutions to meet the requirements of customers in the health care, education, corporate office, government and retail sectors.
