Diversity and international focus at Nuremberg The launch of the newsroom just under a year before Stone+tec 2018 shows that preparations for the international exhibition for natural stone and stone technology are in full swing. The local industry associations, including BIV (Association of German Stonemasons), DNV (German Natural Stone Association) and the VdG (Association for Memorial Culture) are developing their participation in trade fair and supporting programme. Numerous exhibitors from 17 countries meanwhile have also already registered for Stone+tec 2018. Interested companies can benefit from attractive early booking rates for stand hire until 31 October. Trending topics – robotics and sustainability As well as the innovations showcased by exhibitors, the hot topics in the industry will also be the centre of attention at Stone+tec 2018. In keeping with the sustainability trend, the special show "Our natural stone – working together for a sustainable future" brings together native material from various stone works in the shape of unfinished sheet and crafted objects. In a second special show "Technology and chemistry for worktops", stonemasons who wish to step up their expertise in interior finishing will find useful products and ideas. The accompanying supporting programme at Stone+tec offers presentations and daily panel discussions, including an exploration of focus topics such as "Opposites attract: CNC and design" and "Decision-making support: robot or machining centre". write your comments about the article :: © 2017 Construction News :: home page |
