Chinese stone companies have been exhibiting at Europe\'s stone fairs for many years and some of them will be seen again at the Natural Stone Show at ExCeL, London, in March, but if you want to see them on their home territory a good starting place is Xiamen International Stone Fair taking place 6-9 March next year.

This is the eighth in this series of shows staged in the coastal city of Xiamen, which claims to be the stone capital of China, and each one has grown in line with the massive growth of the stone industry in the country.

This time the 75,000m2 exhibition area will have 1,000 exhibitors from all over the world, including national pavilions from Turkey, Italy and Spain.

If you want see the local companies, the organisers will help arrange visits to some of the important stone firms in the area. Contact the organisers. Tel: 0086-592 595 9616. info@stonefair.org.cn.
