Brother International Corporation Gulf (BICG) has reported a growth of 6% in the Middle East for the 12 months to the end of March. BICG managing director Shinji Tada said the firm is expecting to register 15-20% growth in the current year on the back of a particularly strong showing in Bahrain and doubling the market presence of Brother's Colour Laser MFC market in UAE in 2009, in anticipation of the projected surge in the Laser MFC markets by 2010.
