The UK-based Creative Resins Distribution have always attracted an audience at the Big 5, thanks to the action at its stand, which feature innovative machinery creating works of art right in front of the visitors' eyes.

In a bid to make further inroads into the markets of the Middle East, the UK-based company will be returning for the fourth time to showcase its new resins and machinery for the application of decorative glass for interiors of villas, mosques, hotels and other projects.
“We will be promoting a range of decorative resins for stained glass along with the sophisticated machinery required for its application to both new and existing customers in the Middle East at our stand at the Big 5 show,” says Louise Bollom, director of the company. “In addition, we will be introducing a new spray resin system which is designed for spandrel glass, curtain-walling, glass partitions, splash backs and large areas of coloured glass. It can also create aesthetic effects such as pearlescent and sparkle,” she adds.
“Our servo cad resin dispensing machine will be running demonstrations throughout the day and exciting new products will be launched at the show. We have an excellent customer base around the Gulf Region and always enjoy attending the Big 5 show each year,” she adds.
Commenting on the response it has received at previous Big 5 shows, she says: “We have been exhibiting for the last four consecutive years at the Big 5 and have always had a good response with around four machines sold every year. The show also helps us to keep in touch with our existing customers in the Gulf.”
Creative Resins Distribution’s products have found application in a number of projects in the Middle East. Many hotels, offices and other commercial establishments are using them for glass designs in atriums, lobbies and in the rooms. Among the most recent deal clinched by the company’s Sharjah-based distributor is to supply decorative glass for the new Dubai airport terminal.
The company is set to launch new water-based resin outlines shortly, which are odour-free, 100 per cent non-toxic, easier to transport especially for its international customers and do not need any cleaning fluids apart from water to rinse out the pumps and plastic ware,
