Marmomac 2026 is scheduled for 22 to 25 September 2026 at Veronafiere, Verona, Italy. Organised by Veronafiere, Marmomac is the leading international trade fair for the natural stone supply chain — raw and finished stone, quarrying and extraction, stone-working machinery and tools, and design.
Indian professionals travelling to attend generally need a Schengen Business Visa (short-stay, Type C) for Italy. A confirmed trade-visitor registration and an invitation or confirmation letter from the organiser or an Italian business partner support the application.
The event
About Marmomac 2026
Marmomac brings together stone producers and processors, machinery and tooling manufacturers, and buyers, architects and designers from around the world. The show spans blocks and slabs, finished products, extraction and processing technology, and a large design and architecture programme.
India is one of the world’s largest exporters of granite and natural stone. For Indian quarry owners, processors and exporters, Marmomac is the single most important annual trip to reach international buyers and to compare processing and finishing technology.
