For the third consecutive year, Brazil's natural stone sector made its mark at the Big 5 Global, the largest construction event in the Middle East held from December 4-7, 2024, at the Dubai World Trade Center in the United Arab Emirates.

Over the course of the four-day fair, attendees had the opportunity to visit a booth designed as an art gallery and get a close look at a sample of Brazil's vast diversity of natural stone. Displayed as works of art were materials provided by three companies: Mont Blanc and Bronzite from Decolores; New Venetian Gold and New White Gold from Granex do Brasil; and Aurora Borealis and Cristal Fuchsite from Margramar.

Additionally, nine other Brazilian companies were present, strengthening their image among fair participants through videos projected throughout the event. These included: Cajugram, Cattegran Granitos, Comil Cotaxé, Granex do Brasil, Magnitos Magnago, Margramar, MIC Mineração, Mineração Borchardt, and Pemagran.

In addition, Brazil hosted a lecture "The Fascinating world of Brazilian Natural Stones" on December 5. The presentation was led by Fabio Cruz, the vice president of Centrorochas. "Brazil is a country of continental dimensions, well-known for the magnificence of the Amazon. One of the points we emphasize is that the extraction and production of our natural stones have no impact on this area. In some locations, there is production of singular materials," Cruz said.

These activities were carried out through It’s Natural - Brazilian Natural Stone, an export incentive program developed by the Brazilian Center for Ornamental Stone Exporters (Centrorochas), in partnership with the Brazilian Trade and Investment Promotion Agency (ApexBrasil).
