Ever since the birth of MECS Cairo in 1997, it has always been one of the favourite places for the coatings industry to meet and trade in the Middle East region, even amidst its peak of the political turmoil, the show has successfully fulfilled its role as the only trading platform for the coatings industry that connects this biggest Middle East Country (by population, 87M) with the world.
The receding dark clouds of the political uncertainty have failed to shadow peoples’ strong will to move on. In 2015, the MECS13 Cairo registered a record attendance which again proved that the strong economic fundamentals and the prevailing positive sentiments have never changed.
