Staying close to the source, tracking trends and building strong partnerships are part of Pacific’s commitment to the continuous evolution of the natural stone market. Recently, Marco traveled to Brazil for an intensive agenda that included participating in Marmomac Brazil, visiting companies in the sector and experiencing Brazilian quarries firsthand.
This journey reinforces Pacific’s global perspective and commitment to staying close to everything that moves the natural stone industry forward.
Participation in Marmomac Brazil and invitation to a strategic industry conversation
During the fair, one of the most important moments of the trip was the invitation extended to Marco Antônio, Pacific’s representative, to join a conversation about the defense and promotion of natural stone in the United States.
The discussion was hosted by Centrorochas in partnership with the Natural Stone Institute and addressed key topics shaping the future of the sector.
The conversation covered updates on the silicosis landscape in the United States market, science based initiatives to support the industry, research conducted with the Yale School of Medicine and collaborative actions to strengthen the positioning of natural stone internationally.
The invitation highlights Pacific’s presence in global industry discussions and reinforces the importance of collaboration between companies, associations and institutions to move the sector forward responsibly and sustainably.
Connecting directly with the origin of materials
The trip also included visits to Brazilian companies and quarries in Brazil, providing a unique opportunity to experience the origin of natural stone up close.
Being inside the quarries allows a deeper understanding of every stage of the process, from extraction to block selection, as well as the technologies, quality standards and best practices adopted by the Brazilian industry.
This direct connection strengthens transparency across the supply chain and reinforces confidence in Brazilian materials, which are globally recognized for their diversity, beauty and performance.
Photos and videos from the quarry visits will showcase the origin of the materials and behind the scenes moments of the extraction process.
Trends, innovation and a forward looking perspective
Participating in Marmomac Brazil and its parallel agendas means staying close to the transformations shaping the industry. Engaging with institutions, partners and experts helps anticipate trends, understand regulatory challenges and identify new opportunities in the international market.
The photos and videos captured during the fair help bring this experience to life, highlighting meetings, conversations and moments that strengthen relationships and broaden perspectives.
Strengthening global connections
Pacific’s presence in Brazil reinforces its commitment to the development of the natural stone industry on a global scale. Every meeting, visit and exchange of knowledge helps build strong partnerships, expand perspectives and ensure the company remains connected to the most important discussions in the industry.
We continue exploring, learning and strengthening connections around the world, always in search of trends, innovation and new opportunities
