An exhibition platform that for almost 60 years has represented one of the most important Italian industrial supply chains, that of marble, which includes both the processing of stone materials and the technology sector for quarrying and processing. A supply chain that in our country (the world's second-largest exporter of materials and first of technologies) generates a turnover of more than 4.5 billion euros, thanks to 3,200 companies that employ about 34 thousand people.
Marmomac returns to VeronaFiere from 23 to 26 September, with 1,400 exhibitors from 50 countries and about 50,000 visitors expected from all over the world, two thirds of whom are arriving from abroad, including delegations of profiled buyers, selected in collaboration with the Ice agency.
International hub for the industry
."Marmomac is much more than a trade fair: it is the international stage where natural stone becomes business, culture, innovation and relations," comments President Federico Bricolo. Veronafiere confirms itself as the world capital of the techno-lapid sector with a strategic event for one of the sectors of excellence of Made in Italy. A result made possible thanks to a system project that involves companies, production districts, institutions and associations such as the Ministries of Made in Italy and Foreign Affairs, ICE-Agenzia and Confindustria Marmomacchine".
While the event takes place in just a few days, the work around it lasts the whole year, through events and initiatives to approach key markets, which include niche appointments aimed at professionals (e.g. those organised in the USA: in Chicago last year and in Houston last spring) but also real trade fairs, such as Marmomac São Paulo, which was held in Brazil last February and will return to the Brazilian metropolis next year.
"The distinctive feature of this event, the most international among those in our portfolio, is that an industrial sector worth 10 billion Euro is represented within our halls," explains Veronafiere General Director Adolfo Rebughini. "People come here not only to take the pulse of the market, but because the marble and natural stone market is there. We have been dealing with this supply chain for 60 years, in close collaboration with Confindustria Marmomacchine, so it is an even more precious opportunity in times of great uncertainty such as the current one, because at Marmomac we reason and discuss how to transform uncertainties and geopolitical tensions into new opportunities".
