As the region undergoes tremendous changes and is expected to attract energy companies of all sizes from the largest global players to the smaller

The 1st Asia, Middle East and Africa (AMEA) Bitumen Conference was jointly organized by Petrosil and Rex Fuels on July 12-13, 2017 in Mumbai, India.The conference attracted more than 200 senior bitumen decision makers from more than 20 countries in the region.

The AMEA Bitumen Conference will provide a comprehensive overview of the region's bitumen market including the latest trends, drivers, competitive

landscape, logistics updates, technology developments, demand and supply information and will offer delegates the opportunity to network withleading industry experts, exchange information and have access to premium presentations.

The Indian sub-continent is strategically placed geographically and has the advantageous position in terms of proximity to these important locations

and will provide delegates in the bitumen industry with the platform and resources to turn challenges into opportunities in the region.

Asian countries like China, India, Singapore, South Korea, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam, Japan and other countries have one of the fastest

growing and dynamic bitumen markets, while the Middle East is becoming a regional hub for good quality bitumen supplies and Africa is evolving and

emerging into a prominent bitumen market offering tremendous opportunities to bitumen reners, suppliers and regional road construction

companies.

With signicant trade, road construction, capacity increases, technological changes and product innovations taking place in the region, this market is

poised to play a key role in shaping the future of the global bitumen market.

The conference has been priced competitively to encourage greater industry participation so that there is a greater opportunity to network with a larger

number of bitumen suppliers and genuine buyers and end users.

The conference aims to bring together leading industry players
