Objectives

The core focus would be to increase the base of end users of granite, i.e. to attract a wider range of potential purchasers to the show. Granite is perceived as being expensive and unaffordable to most. There is some truth to this perception, however in conjunction with and with the cooperation of the big slab suppliers, this perception can be changed.
StoneEx Africa will also be a platform to educate visitors, from the general public, to designers, to architects, as to the uses and limitations and practicalities of using natural stone.
