Marmomac 2026 exhibition in Verona concludes

Overview

The 60th edition of the Marmomac international exhibition in Verona, Italy, concluded following its run from September 22 to 25, 2026. The event continues to function as a primary global hub for the natural stone and stone technology supply chain, drawing approximately 50,000 specialized professionals from 140 nations.

International participation remains a cornerstone of the fair, with roughly 65% of exhibitors and 70% of visitors arriving from abroad. Recent highlights included the Brazilian Pavilion, featuring companies such as Granos, which aligns with a surge in ornamental stone exports from Brazil’s Ceará state. In 2025, Ceará’s quartzite exports rose 178.1% to $77.5 million, with Italy acting as a key market.

On the European front, the Portuguese delegation, coordinated by ASSIMAGRA under the StonebyPORTUGAL brand, reported positive results. A group of 29 Portuguese firms noted higher quality contacts and increased international interest compared to the previous year. Additionally, the event coincided with the 70th anniversary of Italian specialist Antolini, which hosted immersive architectural installations and exhibitions at Veronafiere and the Gallerie Mercatali.

Economic data from the Italian stone technology sector shows a 5.5% increase in foreign sales during the first half of 2026, totaling $1.69 billion. China remains the top market for Italian raw stone blocks, with purchases reaching $144.6 million.
