Stone+tec 2026 in Nürnberg

Stone+tec 2026 is the international trade fair for natural stone and stone technology and will take place from June 17 to 20, 2026, at the Nuremberg Exhibition Center. As a central industry gathering, it combines traditional craftsmanship, modern technology, and innovative design in the use of natural stone, tiles, and related materials and is aimed at professionals from the fields of construction, architecture, monument preservation, cemetery culture, planning, and stone processing technology.

The fair will focus on the following main topics:

• Building with natural stone – materials, applications for indoor and outdoor use
• Equipment for professionals – machines, tools, and processing technologies
• Place of remembrance – tomb, cemetery, and memorial design
• Design with tiles – new focus together with Tile+tec
• Technology & innovation – CNC machines, surface finishing, digitization techniques

Stone+tec sees itself as a competence forum for the entire value chain relating to stone as a material – from raw materials and processing to technical solutions and design concepts. The 2026 trade fair will be held in conjunction with Tile+tec, which covers the tile, design, and technical product selection segment and creates additional synergies for trade visitors and exhibitors.

At the previous edition in 2024, around 250 exhibitors from over 20 countries presented their products and innovations on more than 25,000 m² of exhibition space, and around 10,800 trade visitors were counted – a clear expression of the trade fair's relevance to the industry. In addition to the exhibition, the program's highlights include technical presentations, demonstrations, and workshops, as well as special events such as the presentation of the German Natural Stone Award 2026 and thematic congress elements that promote knowledge transfer, networking, and professional exchange.
