In order to be specified it's critical they know your company and products.

    ASCTEX provides instant access to this hard to reach audience of architects and interior designers. They want to learn more about new applications and see more sources of ceramic tile and natural stone. ASCTEX provides this opportunity while they're at NeoCon selecting products for projects that include commercial, residential, government, restaurant & hospitality, healthcare and the workplace.

  • 28th July 2006: Learning Stone closes in Carrara: A postgraduate course in the use of stone for Saudi architects: The 14 students of the Architectural Faculty of King Saud University in Riyadh, who have attended the Postgraduate course in the use of stone called “Learning stone in Carrara”, have finished their course and, during a ceremony in the premises of Internazionale Marmi e Macchine, have received from the president and CEO of Internazionale Marmi e Macchine, Giancarlo Tonini and Paris Mazzanti, the certificates that say they are experts in and ambassadors of the use of marble in the Middle East.

    “It is not the first training course in the use of stone that we have held in Carrara – highlighted the CEO of IMM, Paris Mazzanti, during the ceremony – because by now our company boasts a sound tradition in the training of young architects, to whom we teach how to select and apply stone materials and the classical, modern and cutting-edge laying and processing techniques. It is an institutional task that we carry out and for which we are appreciated and praised by operators and professionals from all over the world...more

  • 26th July 2006: Import/exports of Italian marble and granite growing again: Made in Italy finished products growing again. The United States and Europe are the leading markets for the first quarter of 2006 as well. Positive signs from the Far East and, despite everything, from the Middle East. Machinery exports also on the rise.

    In the period January to April 2006, Italy exported overall 1 million 440 thousand tons of raw and finished marble, granite, travertine, in different shapes and types, for a value of nearly 560 million euros (see enclosed Table), and imported a little less than 1 million tons of stone products, worth nearly 195 million euros. Compared with the exports for the same period in 2005, we can see a slight growth in quantity (+1%) and a more substantial rise in value (+9%) and a growth in imports by volume (+0.7%) and even more by value (+11.7%). These figures have been published by Internazionale Marmi e Macchine Carrara that, as usual, has processed the statistics from ISTAT, the Central Statistics Office, about the domestic import/exports of stone for the first quarter of 2006, comparing them with those for the same period of 2005, to assess the industry trends...more

  • 24th July 2006: Euroroc: Milestone reached: One item is always at the top of the agenda at all conferences of the Euroroc member countries: The spread of the European-wide logo for labelling real natural stone. Whether “Natur Stein” in the German-speaking regions, “Pietra Autentica” in Italy or “Piedra Natural” on the Spanish market – the campaign co-ordinated by Euroroc is having an effect. At the last meeting in Murcia, the director of the Italian association Assomarmomacchine, Raimondo Lovati, reported that the participation of Ardesia Mangini and Marmi Bruno Zanet now means that 100 Italian companies are licence holders and use the logo actively...more
