Buyer: "These Machines Are What Add Value to Our Stone"

Highlighting the significance of machinery technologies for the recognition of the natural stone sector, İZFAŞ General Manager stated:

"Our fair is not just a marble and natural stone exhibition; it is also a machinery and technology fair. In our country, as valuable as this raw material is, its processing is equally important. What truly adds value to our stone is these machines. The machinery sector and the stone sector are naturally integrated, and so is our fair. For us, machinery is as valuable as block and processed stone. Without these machines and technologies, we wouldn't be able to maximize the efficiency of the natural stone that nature has gifted us. Therefore, the machinery sector belongs at Fuarizmir. This year, we made a great start. We allocated 60% of Hall C to companies producing marble machinery. We have already started preparing for the next fair."

"Marble İzmir is a Fair That Expands the Industry"

Expressing their satisfaction with participating in an indoor exhibition space this year, Dr. Ömer Soykasap, R&D and Foreign Trade Manager, stated:

"We manufacture and sell equipment used for extracting natural stone from quarries, as well as marble cutting machines. Our products are sold at prices ranging from $5,000 to $100,000. Our company is well recognized, and we have an existing customer portfolio abroad. The fair allows us to showcase innovations in our products and establish new business connections. We have the opportunity to interact with customers directly and gain new clients. Since we are tied to the marble sector, as the industry grows, so do we. Marble İzmir is a fair that expands the sector. The high number of visitors from both domestic and international markets has been very satisfying for us. We welcomed visitors from Greece, Macedonia, Bulgaria, and several African countries, and we signed excellent agreements."
