12 JUNE 15, 2019 Stone in Portugal
Held in Portugal since 2003, STONE - Trade Fair dedicated to the natural stone sector, is currently considered as the best show of the sector in the Iberian Peninsula. Portugal ranks 8th in the world rankings of ornamental stone producers, because of the wide variety of natural stones it contains, including marble, granite and limestone.
STONE was born and raised, in this context, with the aim of promoting and spreading Portuguese ornamental rock in foreign markets and with the greatest ambition to highlight national exports.
STONE takes place in the center of the country, in Batalha, near the limestone massif of Extremadura, in a region that has many limestone explorations and a large number of limestone extraction and transformation companies. This fact allows visitors, in addition to visiting exhibitions, the opportunity to visit quarries and business premises.
