In Milan, the official presentation of Marmomac 2026 took place, marking the countdown to its historic 60th edition.
From 22 to 25 September, Veronafiere will host more than 1,300 companies from 54 countries. The entire natural stone supply chain will gather across 12 halls and 8 outdoor areas.
A Global Industry Hub
Marmomac confirms its role as the world hub for the natural stone industry—a meeting point for international markets, businesses, and ideas. Operators from 140 countries are expected in Verona, alongside selected trade delegations invited from 58 countries by Veronafiere and the ITA (Italian Trade Agency), in partnership with Confindustria Marmomacchine.
Italy’s natural stone industry continues to play a major role on international markets, with 70% of its production exported worldwide. This global reach is built on a sector that brings together:
-
Extraction and processing
-
Machinery, technologies, and tools
-
Materials and specialized design
Looking to the Future
The 60th edition also looks towards the future of natural stone through a series of key initiatives:
-
THE BEDROCK – Leading the Future of Natural Stone
-
Marmomac & The City
-
Marmomac Academy
-
Best Communicator Award
-
International Sustainable Excellence Award (a new award developed with the University of Verona)
On Tuesday 22 September, Carlo Ratti will open the anniversary edition with a lectio exploring the relationship between technology, cities, and architecture.
60 editions, one vocation: bringing natural stone to the centre of the dialogue between industry, design, and contemporary culture.
