Natural Stone Institute Expands International Outreach to Turkey
Oberlin, Ohio and Chestertown, N.Y. -- The Natural Stone Institute has entered into an agreement in Turkey with Marble 24: The International Natural Stone and Technology Fair, commonly referred to as the IZMIR Fair. The association will send a delegation of industry leaders to exhibit and provide educational seminars during the show.
“Turkey represents approximately 33% of the world’s marble supply with more than 120 colors available,” said Bruce Knaphus, Natural Stone Institute board member. “The IZMIR Fair attracts an attendance that is among the top three international trade shows. This is another opportunity for the Natural Stone Institute to further expand its international outreach regarding technical and educational resources.”
