Two excellences of the "made in Italy"stone industry return to star in one of the most important international fairs dedicated to natural stone in the world, much anticipated after three years of restrictions resulting from the pandemic and travel restrictions.
MARMI GHIRARDI, a Brescia-based company celebrating its 85th founding anniversary in 2023, and MGI - MARMI E GRANITI D'ITALIA, a Massa Carrara-based company that has also reached the brilliant threshold of 75 years in business, both over the years have developed solid and profitable business relationships with China where the traditional business model linked to the physical fair returns and so it's back on track. MGI will be present with its own booth (HALL 5 - Stand A50042) contiguous to GHIRARDI 's (HALL 5 - Stand A50041).
Both present their own materials-extracted in Proprietary Quarries-and specialization in the realization of high-profile natural stone projects, also underscores their membership in the PNA Consortium-Authentic Natural Stone, to which they recently signed the "Naturally Sustainable" manifesto, a decalogue that precisely states objectives and commitments for the promotion and protection of marble from an ecological and sustainable perspective, another strategic aspect.
According to export data for the first 10 months of 2022 compiled by the CONFINDUSTRIA MARMOMACCHINE Study Center, it was confirmed as the 1st destination market for Made in Italy raw stone materials, with 152 million euros of imports from Italy, but also the 18th destination market for processed and semi-finished stone products, with imports worth close to 18 million euros.
Significant, therefore, was the presence at this event for which Confindustria Marmomacchine gathered an important delegation of Italian companies to develop new opportunities, a business that in the first 10 months of 2022 saw the Asian giant rank among the top 20 destination countries with purchases of Italian stone technologies close to 12 million euros.
