The first-ever Greek Marble Networking Event took place in Marmomac this year. The event aimed to bring together all the participating Greek marble companies in the exhibition.
During the event, the representatives of the companies were able to discuss the developments in the industry and the exhibition’s progress, as well as the possibilities of promoting the brand name “Greek Marble” with a common strategy.
Within the framework of the networking event, the companies also had the opportunity to showcase the new creative for Greek Marble at their booths. The creative is the first organised action of the Association of Marble Enterprises of Macedonia – Thrace to promote Greek Marble and the dynamics of the industry.
Among the guests at the event were Jim Hieb, CEO of the Natural Stone Institute, and Buddy Ontra, Chairman of the Board of the Natural Stone Institute. The two guests presented an award to the President of the Board of the Association of Marble Enterprises of Macedonia – Thrace ms. Julie Chaida for the Αssociation’s significant actions to promote and advertise natural stone.
In a short address to the attendees of the event, Jim Hieb spoke highly of the cooperation between the two associations. He also commented on the Natural Stone Strategic Alliance‘s establishment for promoting marble and natural stones and the Alliance’s many joint planned actions.
Starting with this year’s event, which proved to be very successful, participants and organisers agreed that this is an initiative that deserves to take place permanently!
