The 50th edition of Marmomacc (www.marmomacc.com), the International Trade Fair for Stone Design and Technology, will be held at Veronafiere from Wednesday the 30th of September to Saturday the 3rd of October 2015. As in 2014, Marmomacc will be co-located with Abitare il Tempo, Veronafiere's b2b exhibition for professionals from the contract sector, which showcases the latest in materials, interior finishes and décor (www.abitareiltempo.com).
For four days, Marmomacc will, once again, turn Verona into the capital of the entire natural stone sector: marble, granite, stone, machinery and technologies will be on display, during an increasingly business-oriented and international 50th Edition hallmarked by innovation, design and professional education.
Marmomacc is, in fact, the only trade show where visitors can find the entire natural stone sector value chain: from unprocessed blocks to machinery and the latest innovations in applied design using marbles and granite, to educational courses and training seminars. The record 2014 edition was attended by more than 65,000 visitors -- up 15% relative to 2013 -- with 54% international visitors (up by 4,000) from 145 countries (143 the previous year). India was first in terms of foreign visitors, followed by Germany, Turkey, Spain, France, China, the United States, Brazil, Russia and Egypt. There was also significant attendance from the United Kingdom, Iran, South Korea, Portugal and Poland.
On the occasion of its 50th Anniversary, Marmomacc - in collaboration with the Italian Ministry for Economic Development, the Italian Trade Commission and Confindustria Marmomacchine - will implement a major project showcasing the Made in Italy in the natural stone industry, which will include a number of principal components:
“The Italian Stone Theatre” - a hall entirely dedicated to Made in Italy machinery, technologies and stone experiments. This project will combine the ingenuity of designers with the professionalism and production skills of companies and cutting-edge machinery in the sector, producing a marvelous event focusing on Italian know-how and consolidated experience accumulated, over time, through impressive tenacity, creativity and skill.
“The International Stone Summit” - the first international summit involving the main natural stone associations in the world. Two delegates from the fifty most representative associations will be invited to attend Marmomacc 2015, together with a delegation of journalists from the same countries as these delegates. The two days of sessions dedicated to the summit will also include multilateral meetings organized between the various associations in order to analyze specific sector-related issues and set in motion possible international cooperation projects and agreements. The goal is to develop relationships, within the sector, encouraging the expansion of entrepreneurial and business exchanges. The work of the summit will culminate in a position paper on stone - a collection of fact sheets providing a comprehensive snapshot of the natural stone market in each of the countries taking part in the event.
This project will be complemented by a program of high-level educational training focusing on natural stone quarrying and processing technologies and on the lithological and stereometric varieties of materials currently produced, processed and marketed by Italian stone sector companies. This program will target significant numbers of qualified incoming buyers and architects from all over the world. In addition, training events will be accompanied by educational tours to quarries and factories to help participants expand their knowledge of the best Made in Italy products and sector know-how.
Marmomacc projects its status as the global reference event for the entire natural stone sector through the Marmomacc International Network: Veronafiere has scheduled initiatives and projects linked to Marmomacc world-wide, with the intent of extending supply and demand on an international scale, ensuring an important presence for its exhibitors in markets where there is a strong interest in the natural stone industry and growing demand in the stone sector.
Marmomacc is present in the United States, Brazil, Egypt, Morocco, Qatar and Saudi Arabia, thereby achieving strong positioning in these target countries, which are leaders in the natural stone quarrying and processing fields.
In the Americas this presence is ensured through TISE-StonExpo/Marmomacc Americas (the most recent edition, in Las Vegas, was held from the 21st to the 23rd of January, with the East Coast edition scheduled in Orlando from the 3rd to the 5th of November) and Vitória Stone Fair/Marmomacc Latin America (the 39th edition was held in Vitória, Brazil, from the 3rd to the 6th of February), while Africa is covered through Médinit Expo (28th-31st of October 2015) and MS Africa and Middle East (2nd-5th of November 2015).
