INTERNATIONAL GRANITES AND STONE FAIR

The International Granites and Stone Fair, STONA, is one of India's oldest and largest professional exhibitions in the stone industry. Since its first edition in 1987, STONA has successfully held fourteen editions, accumulating rich industry experience and extensive international influence. This biennial exhibition is held in Bengaluru, a major stone producing region in southern India. This geographical advantage allows it to fully utilize the rich local mineral resources and mature stone industry chain, attracting widespread attention and strong support from the Indian and global stone markets. STONA is organized by the Federation of Indian Granite and Stone Industry (FIGSI) and receives strong support and assistance from the Indian government and many leading stone industry enterprises, further solidifying its authoritative position and influence in the industry. The exhibition scale typically ranges between 20,000 and 50,000 square meters, making it a significant annual event for the Indian stone industry. For example, the 2022 exhibition covered an area of 45,000 square meters, attracting 145 international exhibitors and 380 Indian exhibitors, with a total of over 30,000 visitors, including 4,000 international visitors, fully demonstrating its international level and strong market appeal. Exhibitors mainly come from Italy, China, Turkey, Egypt, Japan, South Korea, Portugal, Iran, Ukraine, the United States, African countries, Russia, Poland, the Middle East, the Far East, and other European countries, forming a diversified international exchange platform. Notably, the Chinese delegation has performed particularly well at STONA, with about 70 Chinese companies participating in the last exhibition, covering an exhibition area of over 1,000 square meters, making it one of the largest national pavilions at the show. STONA provides an excellent platform for Chinese stone enterprises to expand into the Indian and global markets, serving as an important window to understand industry trends, expand business networks, and seek cooperation opportunities.
