As I write this, I am touring Italy with a group of fabricators from the Stone Fabricators Alliance (SFA). Although members of this group come from various parts of the U.S. and Canada, and have different size shops, it is apparent they share a common interest -- to educate themselves more on everything to do with stone fabrication.
For many of them, it is the first time they are in Italy -- or Europe for that matter. Not only are they excited to experience all this country has to offer, but they are equally eager to make the most out of each visit we make to the facilities of stone producers, as well as manufacturers of machines, tooling, and installation and maintenance products. At every stop they are inquisitive -- asking many thoughtful questions.
