Machine Makers, Marmomacc Ink Pact

MILAN, Italy –Assomarmomacchine, the Italian association of makers and users of machines and equipment for working ornamental stone, and Veronafiere, the organizer of the Marmomacc stone show, signed an agreement of cooperation late last year.
The agreement – strengthening a 2005 accord – is a move to greater coordination between trade institutions and fair boards, especially in terms of the Italian stone sector, and formalizes a relationship involving the two premier organizations working in Italian stone.
The two organizations confirmed their interest in negotiating the terms of an agreement aimed primarily at a project concerned with business-oriented shows in Italy and abroad, for promoting Assomarmomacchine and Veronafiere in the stone sector, and at adopting organizational strategies for reaching goals of mutual interest.
“For Italy’s techno-stone sector our agreement is a definite step ahead towards a new kind of teamwork,” said Assomarmomacchine president Flavio Marabelli. “We are confident that a work group will soon be set up so we can quickly proceed to checking out concrete possibilities for joint projects, especially in regard to promotion and education in foreign countries.”
