Verona, 2 October 2023 – Marmomac, the landmark international exhibition for the natural stone supply chain, closed last Friday at Veronafiere, confirming its status as the main global hub for the natural stone and processing technology market. Four days of intense business and a packed exhibition centre, with 12 show halls and 3 outdoor areas exploited to the full, for a net total of more than 76,000 square metres. Right from the first day, stands set a record for internationality, with 68.5% of 1,507 exhibitors arriving from 54 different countries. This trend was equally confirmed by accredited arrivals of international buyers from 138 countries.
"Marmomac 2023 was achieved thanks to a magnificent team effort," said Federico Bricolo, President of Veronafiere. “We were involved right from the end of last show in major incoming activity to attract international operators through synergies with the Ministry of Business and Made in Italy and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, as well as Italian embassies and consulates around the world. If operators from 138 countries travelled to Veronafiere, all this is thanks to the long-term preparation in which we have always enjoyed the fundamental support of ICE Trade Agency, which provided finance for incoming buyers, and Confindustria Marmomacchine. There was also huge commitment by our international organization: our delegates and companies operating in China and Brazil ensured that Marmomac can be considered as one of the most international b2b events on the entire global trade fair scene."
"The 57th Marmomac posted impressive facts and figures," said Maurizio Danese, Managing Director of Veronafiere. “We posted more than 51,000 professional visitors - a 10% increase over 2022. International visitors also grew by 15% in absolute terms to 66% of total. The Americas turned in a great performance with 29%, thanks to significant increases in arrivals from the United States, Canada and Brazil. There was also the great return by China and fine participation from Europe, especially Germany, Spain and France. We also highlighted a new path by turning the spotlights on product culture and professional training thanks to two dedicated show halls: The Plus Theatre and A Matter of Stone, curated by Elle Decor to promote the use of natural stone in the luxury and interior design sector among architects and designers".
Following the in-person trade fair that closed its doors last friday, exhibitors and visitors can now stay in touch through the Marmomac Plus portal - the online that supporting 365 days a year. In 2024, the Veronafiere trade fair calendar in the natural stone sector includes an appointment in Brazil with the Vitória Stone Fair (January 30-February 2), leading the way to the next edition of Marmomac scheduled in Verona 24-27 September.
