What the exhibitors / partners of Stone+tec say

AKEMI Chemisch Technische Spezialfabrik GmbH, Dr. C. Dirk Hamann, Managing Director

"We need Stone+tec, it is the industry's centrepiece. It's good that the trade fair has passed through the valley of tears. On the one hand, it is important for the industry to meet, and on the other hand, the trade fair is an opportunity to make our industry visible, for example in politics. Stone+tec has succeeded in doing this. It's great that more visitors have come to Stone+tec again and that the mood in the industry is good despite the crisis in the construction industry. Stone+tec is already well established in the DACH region, but I would like to see even more international visitors."

ATMOS Vakuumpressen GmbH, Stefan Katzer, Managing Director

"We were there as a new exhibitor in the new Tile+tec product area. It was very interesting for us because we got to know new market areas. The fact that Tile+tec was not yet the centre of attention meant that we found new areas of application for our range in the natural stone sector. We were also able to hold good discussions with tile dealers, tilers and architects and are already looking forward to 2026, when the topic of tile will be even more in the spotlight and we look forward to being there again."

Bundesverband Deutscher Steinmetze, Dipl.-Ing., M.A. Sybille Trawinski, Managing Director

"Stone+tec is the meeting place for the industry. For many companies, it's less about getting information and more about meeting up with colleagues, and you can do that at Stone+tec. For us, the meeting point takes centre stage, and we want to focus on this and create a space for encounters at Stone+tec. Our highlight was the young talent competition and we are very proud of our young talent. With the young talent competition, we want to attract and inspire young people to Stone+tec, because that is also the future of the trade fair."

Deutscher Naturwerkstein Verband DNV, Hermann Graser, President

"We have received a lot of positive feedback on the Stone+tec Congress and the specialist programme. The setting and content of the congress are in tune with the times and fit in very well. We are delighted that we were able to inspire the audience. The quality of the presentations was very good."

Deutscher Naturwerkstein Verband DNV, Reiner Krug, Managing Director

"We received a lot of positive feedback at Stone+tec 2024, the frequency at our stand was good. Thursday and Friday in particular were very well attended. The mood in the industry is currently better again and the interest in the trade fair is noticeable."

Ernst Strassacker GmbH & Co. KG, Edith Strassacker, Managing Director

"The trade fair is and remains the most important meeting place for the industry. Visitors came from all over and we are satisfied with how the trade fair went. Friday in particular was fantastic and our stand was very busy. We hope that this trend will continue."

Ernst Strassacker GmbH & Co. KG, Günter Czasny, Deputy Managing Director

"The Stone+tec Congress taking place at the same time gives the trade fair a profile and that worked well. The Stone+tec Congress on Friday was entitled "Cemetery of the Future", the format was an experiment and it was a success. The hall was well filled and there were also some interested journalists there."

Holland Graniet GmbH, Arne Hansen, CEO Managing Director

„We decided to take part in a trade fair at short notice and Stone+tec exceeded our expectations many times over. Up to now we have concentrated on in-house exhibitions and will continue to do so, but at Stone+tec we were able to win back old customers that we had lost sight of. We also had good discussions with new customers and were pleased to meet our existing customers in person in Nuremberg. We look forward to returning to Stone+tec in two years' time."

J. König GmbH & Co, Franziska Petri, Managing Director

"During Stone+tec 2024, our stand was very well attended, we were able to hold inspiring discussions and the atmosphere was great. The visitors were very interested and came from further away than we had expected to visit Stone+tec."

Kunstgiesserei Plein GmbH, Heinz Plein, Managing Director

"The larger number of exhibitors again meant that more visitors came to Stone+tec, including more international visitors. That points in the right direction. Stone+tec 2024 was a good sign that the trade fair will remain the centre of the industry."

L. Hietel GmbH & Co KG, Tim Niebergall, Managing Partner

"Stone+tec is a very important event for us because it is the only trade fair at which we exhibit. It's great that the trade fair has become a little bigger again and that there were slightly more visitors than at the previous event. We have over 30 partners exhibiting with us and our trade fair concept has been a complete success. We tried to make it a trade fair that you can touch and try out. Our stand was full every day and we also sold a lot. We were able to meet many new customers at Stone+tec, especially from the
tiling sector. TIle+tec was still very small to start with, but the public came. We thought that was very good. We would be delighted if Tile+tec were to be expanded even further in the future."

weha Ludwig Werwein GmbH, Richard Hering und Robert Beck, Managing Directors

"Stone+tec 2024 was a complete success. Thanks to the excellent support from the AFAG exhibition management, we were able to experience an event that exceeded our expectations. The extremely positive visitor numbers confirm that Stone+tec has once again gained momentum and is firmly established as the central platform for the stone processing industry. We at weha are particularly proud of our presentation, which generated a lot of positive feedback from our business partners. The presentation of our latest products and solutions met with great interest and opened up numerous enquiries and business contacts for us. This positive response shows that Stone+tec is an essential part of the industry and an important platform for dialogue with our customers. We would like to thank all visitors, business partners and AFAG for an all-round successful trade fair and are already looking forward to the next Stone+tec!"
