Nearly 300 Venezuelan and 79 Iranian companies are participating in the fair.
Among the products offered are dialysis machines, electric cars and Venezuelan cattle.
Teheran-based Naftab company have their stand at the fair and are promoting their fire protective coatings made from cement-based mortars combined with minerals, additives and water.

On a brochure shared with visitors, Naftab company explains they had to develop their "own line of Passive Fire Protection Products using domestic materials" after sanctions against Iran where put in place, preventing Naftab of importing from abroad.
