Eighteen German firms showcased their products and services to the Jazan Chamber of Commerce and Industry (JCCI) recently. About 100 representatives of Saudi companies attended the event.

“German and Saudi business relations are traditionally sustainable and win-win partnerships,” said Andreas Hergenroether, delegate of German Industry in Saudi Arabia and Yemen.

During the show, Saudi businessmen had the opportunity to see a wide range of high quality products and services from Germany. The portfolio included construction, engineering, healthcare, paint, industrial automation, food, sewage systems and higher education.

The exhibition in Jazan, with Volkswagen Saudi Arabia and Zarka Al-Yamama as platinum sponsors, was the third show held by German companies. It was held in Riyadh and the Eastern Province last May.

Nasser Abdo Moraie, JCCI chairman and Ahmed Mohammed Al-Qunfodi, JCCI secretary general; were present to open the event.

The product show was established in 2006 to enable German companies to gain access to the Saudi market, particularly those domestic businesses seeking new and innovative products and partners.
