"The Round of Negotiations is part of a solid strategy for global insertion, creating opportunities for Brazilian natural stone companies to remain connected with target markets, strengthen international partnerships and reinforce Brazil's role as a point of reference in quality, diversity of materials and sectoral innovation," said the president of Centrorochas, Tales Machado.

The participating companies reported making 596 business contacts, 278 of them with new prospects. The level of satisfaction with the activity was also noteworthy: more than 87% of the companies assessed the experience positively, while the rate among buyers reached 98%. The participating companies – all headquartered in the state of Espírito Santo, the largest exporter of natural stones in Brazil – were Amagran, Atlas Mármores, Bramagran, Brasigran, Brothers in Granite, Brumagran, Comil Cotaxé, CS3, Decolores, Granitos Assunção, Granitos Colodetti, Lime Stone, Magban, Marbrasa, Margramar, MGA, Milanezi, Pedra do Frade, Pemagran, Potencial Pedras, Qualitá and Santo Antonio Stones.

During the fair, the sectoral project featured the participation of foreign guests, seven designers and two journalists, from the U.S., Germany and Turkey. They experienced a thorough immersion in the Brazilian natural stone industry – from technical visits to companies in Espírito Santo to the schedule at Marmomac Brazil in São Paulo. The positive impact of the experience was demonstrated by the high approval rating -- about 92% of participants viewed the action as positive, highlighting the quality of the content, the access to the production chain and the valuing of Brazilian geodiversity.

The manager of It’s Natural – Brazilian Natural Stone, Thiago Fukuda, emphasized that the schedule is a distinguishing feature. “The schedule prepared by Centrorochas, through the sectoral project, allowed foreign guests to integratedly experience all stages of the production chain – from extraction in quarries to the application of stones in actual projects. This qualified immersion contributes to increasing Brazil’s recognition as a supplier of materials with high added value and great geological diversity,” he stressed.

With the success of the first edition, the date for Marmomac Brazil 2026 is already set. Once again, the event will take place in São Paulo, from March 24th to 26th, promising to further increase its representativeness and impact on the natural stone industry in the Americas.
