The biennial trade fair PEDRA is an uneven event in Portugal, which takes place in a geographic region where the natural stone industry is at its strongest, promoting its visibility on external markets.

On the global market, the stone industry is increasingly competitive, and subject to a strong concurrence in terms of prices and substitute products. In this conjuncture, the PEDRA fair is a surplus value for the companies in the sector, as a privileged platform for the showcase of novelties, exchange of know-how and technology transfers to extract and transform stone.

This event is also a space for establishing partnerships between agents, partnerships that value the development of more efficient activities and more profitable business.
