On March 16, 2025, the 25th China Xiamen International Stone Machinery and Tools Exhibition opened grandly at the Xiamen International Convention and Exhibition Center. As one of the most influential events in the global stone industry, this year's exhibition, themed "Intelligent Manufacturing, Connectivity, and Symbiosis," attracted over 2,000 exhibitors from 40 countries and regions, with an exhibition area of 191,000 square meters. It covered the entire stone industry chain, including materials, machinery and tools, installation and maintenance, and cutting-edge technologies, creating an efficient platform for cooperation and innovative dialogue for stone industry professionals worldwide.
International Lineup Upgraded, Global Resources and Technology Deeply Linked
The internationalization level of the exhibition reached new heights, with exhibition groups from 40 countries, including Italy, Turkey, and Brazil, showcasing their latest achievements. The Italian exhibition group made a strong appearance with nearly 60 companies, displaying high-quality marble and intelligent processing solutions. Turkey and Brazil brought rare mineral resources and advanced mining technologies. A special "Natural Stone Variety Exhibition Area" was set up in the exhibition hall, presenting more than 400 types of stone samples from 30 countries across five continents, covering 10 major color series and 12 types of rock properties, intuitively demonstrating the diversity of global stone resources.
Chinese Intelligent Manufacturing in the Spotlight, Wire Saw Technology Leads Industry Innovation
The machinery and tools exhibition area became the focus of the entire venue, with China's independently developed technologies shining brightly. The global debut of the high-efficiency double-line lifting and swinging wire saw by Quanzhou Huada Superhard Tools Technology Co., Ltd. attracted attention. Its unique swinging cutting technology reduces the contact area, increasing cutting efficiency by 30%, while also reducing energy consumption and stone waste. This technology, derived from the cross-application of the photovoltaic industry, highlights the advantages of "Chinese Intelligent Manufacturing" in the stone processing field, such as high yield and low carbonization, providing a benchmark solution for the global stone processing upgrade.
More than 30 professional activities were held concurrently during the exhibition, deeply linking the stone industry with design, architecture, human settlements, and other cross-border fields.
Global Architecture Master Forum: Gathered top international architects to discuss innovative applications of stone in sustainable architecture.
Xiamen Human Settlements Design Festival: With the theme of "Surge," it promoted the deep integration of design and the stone industry through stone art installations, industry study tours, and other activities.
Stone Infinite Product Design Exhibition: Showcased the cross-border creativity of stone in home furnishings and art, expanding the application scenarios of the industry.
Online and Offline Integration, Creating a Global Stone "Never-Closing" Platform
This year's exhibition innovatively launched the "Cloud Xiamen Stone Show," providing an immersive exhibition experience for global buyers through an all-year-round online exhibition hall, instant negotiation system, and modules such as "live broadcast tours" and "activity live streams." The online platform has attracted more than 100,000 registered users, helping exhibitors break through spatial and temporal limitations to achieve precise supply and demand matching.
The exhibition concluded successfully on March 19th, with an estimated 200,000 professional visitors from around the world. As the "innovation engine" of the stone industry, the Xiamen Stone Show continues to lead the global industry towards a new stage of high-quality development with its scale advantages, technological foresight, and ecosystem integration capabilities.
