Erdoğan Akbulak, chairman and co-founder of Silkar Stone, passed away on January 12, 2026. He played a defining role in transforming Turkish natural stone from a supply-driven commodity into a value-oriented architectural material.
The natural stone industry is saddened by the recent death of David Fell, president of B.G. Hoadley Quarries, who died on August 4, 2021, in Bloomington, IN, at the age of 59.
It is with great sadness that the MAPEI Group announces the passing of its president, Giorgio Squinzi, who died in Milan, Italy, on the evening of October 2, 2019.
