Nine out of ten exhibitors were able to reach their most important target groups and forge new business relationships at Stone+tec 2013.

"The current level of registrations is a positive signal for the entire industry. We are going to be welcoming more than 400 exhibiting companies from more than 30 countries to Stone+tec 2015, including numerous long-standing exhibitors and key industry players. But there are also companies who are appearing at Stone+tec for the first time, such as Heidelberg-based tile designer Enmon or Finnish machine manufacturer Kasins Oy", explains Elke Harreiß, Project Manager for Stone+tec at NürnbergMesse. "But it is not just the booths that have a lot to offer; this year's supporting programme also provides a lot of highlights and reflects above all the huge commitment by all participants.

He will then open the European Competition for Young Stonemasons at the booth of the Association of German Stonemasons (Hall 3, booth 3-139). "Skilled crafts naturally combine traditional techniques with innovations. The craft organisations are doing their utmost to also maintain and promote training in creative trades like stonemasonry and stone sculpture. They are thus providing the foundation to pass on the knowhow about the techniques used in these skilled occupations into the future. The Stone+tec trade fair is an excellent platform for doing this, " says Wollseifer. write your comments about the article :: © 2015 Construction News :: home page |
