  • 13th July 2006: PIEDRA 2006: The fair welcomed some 29,000 professionals, a 7.4% increase compared to the last edition: The sixth edition of the International Natural Stone Fair, PIEDRA 2006, closed its doors last 13th May. This event presented an especially strong international dimension and achieved some highly favourable results. The fair, which featured the participation of some 873 direct exhibitors and represented companies and presented a net exhibition area measuring 26,267 square metres throughout Halls 4, 6, 8 and 10 at FERIA DE MADRID, welcomed the largest number of visitors in its history, 29,000 in all. This figure represents a 7.4% increase compared to the last edition and confirms the considerable interest that this event generates among professionals from the industry.

    This overall figure includes visitors who exclusively visited PIEDRA, which on this occasion came to 17,407 professionals - a 6.2% increase with respect to PIEDRA 2004 -, as well as groups of students, guests and a percentage of visitors from VETECO who, given the coincidence and shared exhibition contents of the two fairs, also attended PIEDRA.

    Portugal, Italy, France, the United States and the United Kingdom were the main countries of origin of the foreign buyers who attended the fair.

    Another of the characteristics of PIEDRA 2006 was its outstanding international scope, both in terms of supply and demand. In this respect, we might highlight the fact that 41% of the exhibiting companies at this edition were of foreign origin and that the attendance of foreign buyers accounted for 11.5% of the total visitor figure, which represents an 8.3% increase compared to PIEDRA 2004. All of this was backed by a number of promotional campaigns, return trade missions organised by regional export bodies and the fair´s International Buyers Programme, organised in collaboration with the Chamber of Trade and Industry of Madrid, which, once again this year, proved to be a highly effective tool...more
