(MMI Asia), a regional subsidiary of Messe Munchen GmbH, is proud to announce the opening of the ASEAN Stone exhibition, in addition to a series of industry exhibitions to be held from December 11 to 13, 2024 at the prestigious Saigon Exhibition and Convention Center (SECC) in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, to support Southeast Asian countries and Vietnam in achieving Vision 2050.

ASEAN Stone 2024 is the first dedicated exhibition of stone, related machinery, tools, chemicals and materials in Southeast Asia, such as granite, quartz, marble slabs, mosaic and natural stone, stone processing and cutting equipment, quarrying machinery and equipment polishing. The exhibition will be co-located with ASEAN Ceramics 2024 in Vietnam. The stone and ceramics industry goes hand-in-hand with the broader manufacturing and construction industries to support expansion in Southeast Asia. Both events will address the growing demand for raw materials, machinery, tools, equipment and other related services and technologies necessary to produce high-quality construction products in the region’s construction sector, worth more than $450 billion. This move will allow two separate forums to foster greater reciprocity while maintaining each community’s brand and identity in two separate rooms.

Visitors to the fair will have access to both floors of the fair, providing a unique opportunity to connect, collaborate, learn and learn about the latest developments. The synergy of colocation provides an extremely powerful and significant avenue for networking at an extremely important time for our industry, where technology and knowledge from both industries can be shared, while specific programs and events will continue to serve each program, thus providing a completely new set of experiences and solutions for participants.

With an exhibition area of 6,600 m2, almost twice the size of ASEAN Ceramics 2023 in Hanoi, an expected attendance of over 300 exhibitors and brands, and over 5,000 industry guests, these events promise to bring together the most influential stakeholders in the stone and ceramics industry in the region.

In addition, the Vietnamese ceramics industry is developing dynamically and ranks fourth in the world in terms of tile production and one of the 10 largest countries producing construction ceramics. With such significant growth in the natural stone and ceramics market, the exhibition will play a key role in accelerating the building of networks between local and international brands and associations to meet the growing requirements and demand, which will be an excellent platform for exhibitors to offer solutions to meet current challenges on digitalization and automation and demonstrating the future of every industry, from manufacturing, production and technology, to 10 Southeast Asian countries – Vietnam, Indonesia, Thailand, Philippines, Malaysia, Singapore, Laos, Cambodia, Brunei and Myanmar.
