Companies in the U.S. stone industry are rather optimistic for 2017 and expect revenues to grow by about 17%. They are also willing to invest in machinery (73%) and technology (43%).
This confidence was confirmed by the success of TISE (The International Surface Event), a key show in North America in the natural stone, surface finishing and cladding sectors created through the merger of three shows: StonExpo/Marmomac Americas, Surfaces and Tile Expo.
