İzmir’s First International Fair Initiative: "Marble Warsaw"

With its success in the natural stone and marble industry, the globally recognized brand "Marble İzmir" is crowning its 25 years of experience with the last fair of the season, "Marble Warsaw."

With a quarter-century of experience, Marble İzmir Fair has been taking significant steps to enhance the brand value of the industry. No longer confined to its original scope, the fair has now expanded beyond its borders. Being one of the largest fairs in the global natural stone sector, Marble İzmir has taken a new step to further strengthen its legacy. İZFAŞ’s trade fair brand "Marble" will now be organized in Poland under the name "Marble Warsaw."

For the first time, a fair will be held abroad following the 26th Marble İzmir Fair, which will take place at Türkiye's largest exhibition center, "fuarizmir," from April 1-4, 2020, hosted by İzmir Metropolitan Municipality and organized by İZFAŞ. With this initiative, "Marble" will become İzmir's first brand to open doors to Europe in the history of trade fairs. The preparations for Marble Warsaw Fair gained momentum after a cooperation protocol was signed with the Polish company Ptak in September last year. The event is set to take place on June 4-6, 2020, at Ptak Warsaw Expo, the largest trade fair and congress center in Central Europe.

Marble İzmir: A Growing Value

As the world’s largest natural stone exhibition, Marble İzmir Fair continues to introduce over 80 different types of Turkish stones in more than 120 colors and patterns to a global audience. Holding the leading position in the industry worldwide, the fair brings together industry representatives from Türkiye and around the world every year. By connecting local suppliers of natural stone with international buyers, Marble İzmir directly contributes to export figures. At the same time, the fair places great importance on design and activities that showcase the use of natural stone in daily life. Reflecting the evolving global landscape, the 25th Marble İzmir Fair in March demonstrated the quality, diversity, global applications, and creative design potential of Turkish natural stone through various events.

"Marble İzmir" Leaves Its Mark at the Heart of Europe

Bringing together all key industry players, from producers to suppliers, and designers to architects, the fair also provides a roadmap for the future of Türkiye’s natural stone industry. Initiating a transformation movement in the sector, Marble İzmir Fair is set to become a flagship for the industry's future. In early September, a collaboration agreement was signed with the Polish company Ptak under the umbrella of the Marble İzmir Fair, organized by İzmir Metropolitan Municipality and İZFAŞ. As a result, the "Marble" brand has now established a presence in Warsaw, Poland. With its 25 years of experience, Marble İzmir is set to introduce a new perspective to Türkiye's fair organization approach. Offering exhibitors a gateway to European and global markets, Marble Warsaw will provide a significant opportunity for industry professionals.
