The Middle East Beverage Awards creates a competitive spirit among the participating brands to encourage more development in this vital industry.”

Eng. Al Madani went on saying:

“Through these awards, we are providing the media and marketing support for local and international brands and recognising best products and practices in the beverage industry to increase their chances in market penetration. In its 3rd year, the Middle East Beverage Awards had succeeded in attracting 30 finalists with different profiles to recognize the quality of their products whether in terms of ingredients, packaging, or manufacture. Due to the increased interest we are witnessing every year in the Middle East Beverage Awards, I believe it will become a core part of Dubai Drink Technology Expo.”

From his side, Dr. Roland Folz, Chairperson of the Global Water & Beverage Technology Congress and the Director Innovation & Technology from Pentair Filtration and Process added: “The MENA region is a substantially large market with strong promise of future growth. I had the pleasure to support DDTE since its inception due to its important role and position in the beverage industry. There is no doubt that the Global Water & Beverage Technology Congress adds great value to the event as it provides latest facts and information about the industry.”

He continued on saying:

“As Pentair, an exhibiting company at DDTE, we put emphasis on quality and quality assurance, as we believe this will be one of the key differentiators for a beverage brand in a growing and dynamic market. High quality turn-key engineering combined with quality assurance equipment systems and effective end-of pipe water recycling solutions will lead to automated future beverage plant concepts that secure our supply of safe beverages into the future in a high water stress area. As a company we are prepared for these trends and utilize DDTE and GWBT to exchange with the brand owners of the region.”
