In the past 15 years, more and more members of stone industry had regarded Stonetech as one of the most important exhibitions of its kind in the world. Many international companies have made their reservation as soon as the previous one ended and they kept on showing themselves every year in the fair.
At Stonetech, visitors could find pavilions from Italy, Iran, Brazil, Greece, Turkey Egypt, Spain and etc. as usual under the identical decoration of each country.
Italy brought the biggest pavilion to the show again. Stonetech has for the first time had the official support of Confindustria Marmo of Italy, and ACIMM. They've succeeded in bringing a number of Italian companies to Stonetech. Meanwhile, AIMM has not stopped the efforts on serving their member companies by bringing them to Stonetech though they simultaneously support the counterpart of Stonetech down to the south of China.
The Egyptian companies made their presence in Stonetech 2008 again with 11 companies. Iran Pavilion also appeared in the show with their beautiful and unique marble and granite stone. As a rising market of stone industry, Iran Pavilion covered more than 1,000 square meters in the show. Turkey, Brazil and Spain have kept on joining in this big stone party for years.
The two alternative cities, Beijing and Shanghai, are the top ones which develop most rapidly in China. They hold a lot of experienced realtors, builders and designers. Besides, the transport services of Beijing and Shanghai are convenient and speedy. No wonder that exhibiting in these two cities can get good results because the serious buyers have good access to communicating with the stone sellers directly.
Stonetech kept good relation with officials from government, embassy and local consulates. The organizers invited them to attend the opening ceremony on the first day of the fair as usual. The visits of the President of Qatar and the Prime Minister of Turkey put more importance on Stonetech's internationalization and its being high class.
