Countdown for "The Jewel of Anatolia"

One of the world's top three fairs in the natural stone and marble sector and the gateway of Turkish natural stone to the world, Marble İzmir International Natural Stone and Technologies Fair, will bring together industry professionals at Fuar İzmir from March 30 to April 2, 2022.

"The Jewel of Anatolia"

Marble İzmir is preparing to welcome industry representatives from all over the world in İzmir, a port city at the crossroads of Europe, Asia, and Africa. Located in the Alpine-Himalayan Belt, home to the world's richest marble deposits, Türkiye holds a key position as a land of natural stone. Marble İzmir not only promotes this wealth across Türkiye and globally but also continues to serve as a lifeline for natural stone exports in 2022. With no available space left, the fair will host nearly 1,000 exhibitors.

Bringing together the natural stone and marble sector in İzmir, Marble is also making a positive impact on the city's economy.
