Held annually at Veronafiere, MARMOMACC is the global showcase of stone materials and machinery. In 2008, more than 1,530 exhibitors from 54 countries attracted over 63,000 trade visitors - including 27,000 foreign visitors from 120 countries.
“MARMOMACC is the best trade show for stone in the world, bar none,” says Robert Campo from Rock of Ages (Graniteville, VT). “We've been exhibiting at MARMOMACC for nine years and the show really allows us to reach our target and gives us good customer turnover."
MARMOMACC is the ideal place to see, in a few busy days, the latest stone-related machinery and technologies, to directly source stone for commercial projects, and to view the full spectrum of stone materials available for residential applications. Each year, the show features a number of architectural exhibits and conferences devoted to designing with dimensional stone.
