A new packaging technology developed in Espírito Santo transports Brazilian granite slabs to the U.S. in just 21 days (port to port), reducing transit time by over 50% and offering an efficient and cost-effective alternative for the natural stone sector.

For the third consecutive year, Centrorochas, in partnership with ApexBrasil, hosted a group of journalists, influencers, designers and buyers from various countries for the “It’s Natural—Brazilian Natural Stone” program to promote stone exports and learn about the Brazilian stone industry. 

Promoted by the Brazilian Center of Natural Stone Exporters (Centrorochas) and the Brazilian Trade and Investments Promotion Agency (ApexBrasil), the It’s Natural - Brazilian Natural Stone booth was the epicenter of activities and networking at KBIS 2024, opening up new partnership opportunities with architects and designers on a global scale and resulting in the collection of approximately 1,000 qualified leads over the three days of the event.

A delegation from the Brazilian natural stone sector is set to take part in the Bond ARC Middle East, an event that connects suppliers with designers and major architectural firms responsible for high-end projects in the Middle East region, scheduled from February 9 to 12, 2024 in Abu Dhabi.

For the third consecutive year, Brazil's natural stone sector made its mark at the Big 5 Global.

The competition, held by the Brazilian Center of Natural Stones Exporters (Centrorochas), the World Natural Stone Association (Wonasa) and Vitoria Stone Fair, aimed at contributing to the improvement of the training of new professionals for the use of natural stones. 

The conception of a project that values the use of Brazilian natural stones gave student Talita Perazza, from the state of Santa Catarina, second place in the Natural Stone Challenge – first Brazilian Academic Architecture Award. 

The action takes place through It's Natural - Brazilian Natural Stone, a program to promote exports of Brazilian natural stone

The Brazilian Center of Natural Stones Exporters (Centrorochas) and the Brazilian Trade and Investment Promotion Agency (ApexBrasil) will take 12 natural stone companies to Mexico on a trade mission that will take place on August 9 and 10, 2023.
