In this conversation, Jason Kamery and Jennifer Richinelli of Stone World discuss recent and upcoming events related to the stone industry. 

The global challenges facing the industry and a shared commitment to promoting the values of ceramic tiles.

To comply with government’s COVID-19 control measures and to ensure the health and safety of all parties, Xiamen Stone Fair Organizing Committee has decided to postpone the 22nd China Xiamen International Stone Fair from the original date of May 5 to 8, 2022.

On the heels of its affirmative decision finding tariff evasion by Simpli Home, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (“Customs”) has preliminarily determined that 13 U.S. importers have evaded the antidumping and countervailing duties (“AD/CVD”) on quartz surface products from China. 

Excitement has been building in anticipation of an in-person event in Las Vegas for The International Surface Event (TISE): SURFACES | StonExpo/Marmomac | TileExpo. The show is taking place June 16-18, 2021 at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas, with registration opening in the next two weeks. Attendees wanting to be notified immediately when registration opens should complete the notify me form.

The organisers of Cersaie have worked hard to explore the possibility of holding an international level trade fair, but they have had to recognise that the general conditions determined by the Covid-19 emergency make it impossible to organise an event that would come up to the show’s usual quality standards.

Marmomac wishes to express its support and closeness to everyone who, in various ways, is involved and committed to tackling this global emergency.
