From Wednesday to Saturday, some 12,000 trade visitors flocked to Exhibition Centre Nuremberg, where 338 exhibitors from 28 countries inspired the highly interested audience with their innovations in technology, materials and accessories. Other highlights included the new forum with practice-driven presentations, the special show “Our natural stone” and the young talent competition organised by the Association of German Stonemasons (BIV) on the forecourt of the exhibition centre.
The 20th round of Stone+tec brought a breath of fresh air to the longstanding event thanks to some new features: A new hall configuration, clear thematic structures and a high-calibre programme of presentations in the central trade fair forum gave Stone+tec a new lease of life. Alongside innovations from established companies, 116 first-time exhibitors contributed to an industry-appropriate, focused display that was well received by visitors from the artisan and industrial segments. The large majority of exhibitors were also very satisfied with the event and praised the high proportion of decision-makers among the visitors, their propensity to invest and the high calibre of the discussions.
“Stone+tec is exactly the kind of trade fair that we need in the sector at the moment. Practical and contemporary product ranges are complemented by topics that really matter to stonemasons and stone processors, including sustainability, regional focus and the latest technology,” says Joachim Grüter, President of the German Natural Stone Association (DNV).
“We are delighted about the positive mood at this year's Stone+tec and note that the new features in the trade fair concept have been popular,” confirms Gustav Treulieb, Federal Guild Chairman in the BIV. “The supporting programme in the forum was very well attended, which shows that we are covering the right kinds of issues. Through the opportunities to acquire knowledge, clarify problems and get talking, the new Stone+tec is living up to its role as the gathering place for the industry and is on the right track for the time ahead. With an eye to the future I am particularly delighted about the results of the young talent competition!”
The next Stone+tec will take place from 17 to 20 June 2020 at Exhibition Centre Nuremberg. Exhibitors can register for the event from autumn 2018.
