Objectives

The core focus would be to increase the base of end users of granite, i.e. to attract a wider range of potential purchasers to the show. Granite is perceived as being expensive and unaffordable to most. There is some truth to this perception, however in conjunction with and with the cooperation of the big slab suppliers, this perception can be changed.
StoneEx Africa will also be a platform to educate visitors, from the general public, to designers, to architects, as to the uses and limitations and practicalities of using natural stone.

What’s On

StoneEx Africa 2010’s debut into South Africa promises to be an exciting and informative exhibition for the stone industry and its related market. With education sessions designed to help you succeed from speakers of top companies will give you the chance to talk with industry experts and see hands-on demonstrations of cutting-edge techniques, a new product pavilion will showcase the latest innovations the industry has to offer and, of course, hundreds of exhibitors covering the entire spectrum of everything stone!

In addition to inviting exhibitors to participate in StoneEx Africa, we can include packages that will consist of flights, accommodation, local tours, safari’s and introductions to South Africa and its culture.
