Marmomac has a high international profile, confirmed by the numbers recorded in the 2018 edition, with 62% of the 1616 exhibitors and 68,000 sector professionals arriving from abroad, from 150 different nations. An achievement made possible by collaboration with ICE-Italian Trade Agency, Confindustria Marmomacchine and the Veneto Region.
“Marmomac is now the platform of reference for professionals in the international marble system, where our country plays a leading role,” says Maurizio Danese, president of Veronafiere. “The objective of Veronafiere is to consolidate the leadership of this brand thanks to the orientations of a new industrial plan leading to 2022, calling for investments of 105 million euros, also to boost our most successful formats.”
For the trade growth of the fair, the aspects of innovation, design and education are of fundamental importance. A concept represented at Marmomac by the exhibitions featured in Pavilion 1, The Italian Stone Theater, which bring together experimentation, marble and Italian technologies.
The theme of the 2019 edition is Naturality, or the natural identity of stone in its purest guise, bringing out the values of uniqueness and geodiversity, underscored by the insertion in a green setting that alludes to the bond between the vegetable and mineral worlds.
This idea is also emphasized by Marmomac through participation in the PNA (Pietra Naturale Autentica) network for the promotion of authentically natural stone prooducts.
