Now at its 44th edition, the International Exhibition of Natural Stone, Design and Technologies scheduled Wednesday 30 September - Saturday 3 October 2009 (with the abolition of Sunday and opening on Wednesday to meet the needs of professional in the sector) once again ranks as the leading event in sustaining the marble system on the world market in order to promote development of products and technologies and become an increasingly qualified cultural workshop for world-wide trends in stone construction and design.

Marmomacc is the essential appointment for operators in the stone industry, from machinery to instrumental products, from blocks to more complex processing, for professionals in construction and contract sectors as well as designers and decision makers seeking success in an increasingly specialised and competitive context.

Thanks to an integrated system of services combining the quality of the exhibition offering and professional visitors, contacts and penetration on outlet markets, attendance by numerous and qualified delegations of international buyers with match-making initiatives, presentation of studies, research, conventions, commercial and cultural initiatives to analyse the market and the main topics in the sector at the service of companies, Marmomacc is the most important international event in 2009 dedicated to sector companies.

A major showcase highlighting the best production traditions and innovation on a national and international scale, international projects, with many initiatives promoting the special features and wealth of natural stone and the expressive potential of stone materials in architecture and design.

This edition of the show equally pursues its promotion of continual training, technical seminars and programmes for architects. Design and technology come together at Marmomacc - by now increasingly a fundamental meeting place for better understanding of current evolution and trends in stone and design sectors.
