Upcoming Trade Shows Verona, Italy for Ceramics

The ceramics industry in Verona revolves around Marmomac – the international exhibition for the natural stone supply chain. Although the event maintains a leading position as the premier global hub for the natural stone and processing technology market, Marmomac is also essential for Italian ceramics manufacturers to reach their target audience. From the very start, Marmomac 2024 shattered records for international participation with 68.5% of the 1,507 exhibitors travelling from 54 different countries. We see a similar boost in the level of internationality among visitors as organisers noted a significant influx of buyers from 138 countries. Overall, the 2024 edition saw a turnout of over 51,000 professional visitors – a notable 10% increase compared to the previous edition. International visitors rose by 15% and comprised 66% of the total. The Americas, Europe and China were the primary places of origin. What sets Marmomac apart is its legacy of close to six decades. Since 1961, Marmomac has earned a sterling reputation as the go-to platform for exhibitors. The enduring appeal of Marmomac lies in its ability to provide a comprehensive overview of the entire processing chain from cutting-edge machinery and chemical products to finished marble and abrasive tools. The exhibition halls are meticulously curated to cater to the needs of trade visitors, offering a firsthand look at the latest advancements in stone processing technologies. Additionally, the outdoor areas provide a unique opportunity to inspect blocks, slabs and large processing machinery up close, making it a fully hands-on experience that assists potential buyers into finding the best deal. Something fun; Marmomac hosts a special ceremony on its opening day that announces four new Masters of Stone, who are distinguished for their exemplary contributions. The title goes back to the Ancient Free Corporation of Stone Arts in Verona in 1319 and remains a coveted honor in the sector!
