Trade Shows 2013

Trade show in 2012 are just ending, and have been better than expected, 2013 Trade Show will be hopefully better, as we expect the International market to begin to give a positive response. 
For upcoming 2013 fairs I recommend as always the Marmomacc fair, year after year I always somehow repeat myself, but for many years this fair has and still is an opinion leader in the sector. In Verona we see year after year all the stake holders in the stone industry attending Marmomacc, they look for tendencies, innovation and market reality, because it's all there. So we in the stone industry I can say we have Marmomacc and all the others.

2013 we have the German trade show Stone Tec in Nuremberg, one of my favourite, it only occurs every two years. Very interesting show, in a very nice region, so enjoy business and pleasure simultaneously.

 

The Brazilian market has not been as good as expected, however crucial times await, let's see what happens as we get close to the final stages of the big construction projects which are in motion.
