See Brazil First at Marmomac 2025
VERONA, Italy – When Marmomac opens its doors here next week, the Brazilian natural stone industry will literally be front and center.
Brazil will be the only country with an exclusive hall at Veronafiere … and it’s Hall 1, right at the main entrance to the international natural-stone event.
Into that prestigious space, 31 Brazilian companies will display their best to the world, as assembled by It’s Natural – Brazilian Natural Stone and the Brazilian Natural Stone Association (Centroroches) in partnership with the Brazilian Trade and Investment Promotion Agency (ApexBrasil).
The move reaffirms the relevance Brazilian stone in the global market while symbolically reclaiming its origins associated with Italian immigration. To round out the Brazilian experience, the pavilion will feature a restaurant specializing in Brazilian cuisine.
Along with the 31 companies supported by It’s Natural – Brazilian Natural Stone, an additional 10 companies will be present individually, bringing the display to around 4,000 m2. The companies in the It’s Natural – Brazilian Natural Stone exhibit, expect to generate approximately $10 million in immediate business and $50 million over the next 12 months.
As Brazilian officials note, their industry’s history dates back to the arrival of Italian migrants who brought their experience, entrepreneurial vision and family values to a country with the world’s greatest geologic diversity.
“The history of the industry in Brazil was shaped by many hands and many cycles; it is only right to preserve this memory and acknowledge all the contributions made thus far and that that continue contributing to the strong development of the country and to it being respected around the world,” says Tales Machade, the president of Centrocochas.
