The details of coming STONETECH 2013 BEIJING were introduced to these companies’ responsible persons. The fair focuses on showing the main stone materials from North China, for example, about 10 companies from Xinjiang group exhibit the fair. This is the first time for Xinjiang to exhibit together, and they will bring all featured stones from Xinjiang region. Except for natural stones, the artificial stones also have great strength. GANI Ceramics will exhibit and show their ceramics which imitate the stone appearance. And they will show the verisimilitude and beauty of the ceramics by the way of body painting in the fair. The body painting is painting the stone pattern on the beauties’ body and will show the viewers the combination of the beauty of body and stone pattern through the dance. This showing way was ever used by Antolini from Italy in a Italian fair, which abstracted much attention. By this way to introduce new products, GANI will get unexpected result. No matter the artificial stone or ceramics, they are natural stone’s rivals. We must know ourselves as well as rivals so that we can win. One of Wanfeng Stone showrooms is located in Xilian Market will be built this year. There are many stone enterprises in Xilian Market, but the only central showroom was handed over to Wanfeng. We believe Wanfeng must have its advantages and we can have a first glimpse in the fair. Dong Fang Yu Tang will also have new products to display in the fair, and they have a series of activities to promote the display. But there is no more details yet. We get to know only through the fair.

The products communication targeted at users is also one of features this year. The sponsor and the CSMA organized the experts of stone maintenance industry and will introduce the new technologies of preventing stone disease and how to judge the quality of maintenance products, etc. Now, many stone project contractors and hotel stone maintenance companies in Beijing are confused on stone maintenance. So the fair specially organizes this activity and has received many receipts from stone protecting and maintenance enterprises.
The president Tan Jinhua made a brief analysis on the export situation of China stone industry 2013, and certainly referred that the increasing rate of import and export will keep decreasing and the increasing rate of domestic stone projects will reach at 25%, especially the home decorating market. Stone enterprises should take effort in improving products quality and level to share more market from ceramics’.
