New June 06' trade show on stone slated for Rio de Janeiro

Trade show organizer ITSS EXPOS said it will launch a show in Rio de Janeiro next year that will focus on granite, other stone surfaces and the machinery used to handle them. ITSS said Brazil is a fitting location for the expo, scheduled for June 15-17, 2006 because "Brazil has grown to be the largest manufacturer and exporter of granite to the United States and the demand for Brazilian material continues to grow each year."
