Agreement between PIEDRA 2010 and EUROROC

PIEDRA 2010 and EUROROC, the European and International Federation of Natural Stone Industries, have signed a collaboration agreement in order to boost the promotion of the fair at an international level. EUROROC, which will take part at the fair with its own stand, has based this initiative on the important strategic role that PIEDRA plays due to its location, as well as on the leading status that Spain enjoys as one of the world´s main producers of natural stone.

EUROROC was founded back in 1950 by a series of federations located in different European countries, with a view to jointly coordinating and protecting the industry´s interests.

The thirtieth Marmotec due to take place from 19 to 22 May 2010.

“It will be an important event for the international marble and technology industry, a trade fair that will show the most beautiful and innovative products our companies can offer on an international market that is becoming increasingly competitive which means that companies need to adapt, show great innovation and make suggestions for the world of designers based on marble and natural stone.”
These were the opening words of Giorgio Bianchini, CarraraFiere Chairman, when presenting CarraraMarmotec 2010, Marble, Technology and Design Trade Fair to the press, the thirtieth year of the trade fair that will be held from 19 to 22 May.

“We are planning the fair in every minute detail. Faced with a rapidly changing international scenario we aim to create an event that will praise above all the quality of products and the ability of our exhibitors to present quality products in an area like the Apuo-Versilian area (that has always stood out for its ability to interact with producers from all over the world) and to meet the requirements of high profile clients. It is a difficult time for the industry and CarraraMarmotec may be the opportunity to draw attention to natural stone and stimulate demand, especially in the high quality brackets with high added value that characterise the national industry”.

The natural stone fair that we would like to highlight this month is the Xiamen Stone Fair 2010. This is possibly the largest natural stone fair that takes place on the international natural stone scene.

Xiamen Stone Fair is a growing fair, with increasing visitors and exhibitors year by year. Despite the Chinese market specific conditions, China is with no doubt a very interesting market for both the export of international stones as for the import of some Chinese stones.

You may not deal directly with China, but you would not like to miss which are the latest trends happening on the largest market on earth.
