The Lemsid 2026 expo, which began on September 14 at the Palais des expositions des Pins Maritimes in Algiers, has attracted large crowds of families seeking school supplies. The event, set to conclude on September 26, showcases a wide range of local and imported products. Algerian families are particularly drawn to locally manufactured school supplies, which offer high-quality products at competitive prices. This has helped build trust among parents and meet the expectations of students.
Locally produced school bags and backpacks are a hit among children, with various shapes, colors, and designs on display. Exhibitors are offering discounts and promotions, especially through direct sales from producers to consumers. This approach enables families to purchase essential school supplies at affordable prices.

Mohamed Aboudi, representing a company specializing in office and school supplies, stated that his company aims to continually expand its product line to meet the needs of Algerian students. By selling directly to consumers, they can offer affordable prices.

Another company representative, Mohamed Fakhar, highlighted the importance of participating in the expo to showcase their wide range of school and office supplies. He emphasized that all products are 100% locally manufactured, designed with children's safety in mind. Fakhar also noted that direct sales from the factory to consumers are part of their solidarity effort to support families during the back-to-school season.
