TISE 2026: The Italian Area of CONFINDUSTRIA MARMOMACCHINE – ICE Italian Trade Agency in Las Vegas

TISE 2026 comes to a close today January 29 in Las Vegas, confirming its role as one of the leading trade fairs for the North American and international stone industry.

CONFINDUSTRIA MARMOMACCHINE took part in the event at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center with the Italian Area, organized in cooperation with ICE – Italian Trade Agency, and in particular with the ICE Office in Chicago, within the framework of the Promotional Program supported by the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation (MAECI).

This participation once again highlighted the strength, quality and unity of the Italian supply chain in international markets.

Thanks to the presence of the Italian companies exhibiting within the Italian Area:

3T Utensili Diamantati Speciali | Chim-Italia Group | Dal Prete Engineering | Domos | Ferrari & Cigarini | G.B. Basaltite | Italdiamant | Italmecc | Lapis Urbe | Marmi Ghirardi | Omag | Pellegrini Meccanica | Prussiani Engineering | Santucci Graniti | Senini Stone | SRD Tools | Steinex | Stone Italiana | Waterjet | Zagross Marmi | Zares

it was possible to reaffirm the internationally recognized excellence of the Italian marble and stone technology sector, in a market — the United States — that continues to represent the leading export destination for Made in Italy products in this industry.

The latest figures from the Confindustria Marmomacchine Research Center confirm that, also during the first nine months of 2025, total exports of the sector to the United States exceeded €490 million, with the U.S. once again proving to be a strategic market for the Italian stone industry, even in light of the tariff barriers introduced last August.
