With this in mind, it is no surprise that the Vitória Stone Fair, which takes place in Vitória, Espírito Santo, Brazil, has become a major international event. The 2008 edition of the fair will be held from February 19 to 22, 2008, and it is a showcase of Brazil’s plentiful stone resources, as leading producers from the Espírito Santo State and around the country are on hand.
A record 35,797 visitors attended the 2007 Vitória Stone Fair, including 2,355 foreign visitors. The attendees coming from overseas included many from the U.S., as importer/distributors and large-scale fabricators were on hand to source Brazilian stone material - primarily for kitchen countertops and other slab applications.
