Innovation, automation and new opportunities to discover at StoneGal 2026
The natural stone industry is going through a new phase marked by innovation. What for decades was a sector associated exclusively with tradition and manual work is now evolving towards a more efficient, precise and competitive model thanks to technology.
From quarrying to finishing, digital transformation and the incorporation of new industrial solutions are redefining the way natural stone is worked.
StoneGal 2026 will be the place to learn about this evolution from leading exhibiting companies in the sector.
1. More precise and productive machinery
One of the great changes in the sector has been brought about by advanced machinery. Increasingly precise cutting, machining and polishing equipment allows us to optimise times, reduce errors and improve the final quality of the product.
Companies specialising in technology and industrial equipment will be present at StoneGal to showcase real solutions aimed at improving the productivity and competitiveness of companies.
A unique opportunity to see innovation applied live.
2. Process automation
Automation is already part of the industry’s present.
Intelligent lines, digitised processes and new tools make it possible:
- Reduce production times
- Minimise material waste
- Improving operational security

During StoneGal, different exhibitors will present technologies and systems focused on optimising production plants and industrial processes.
New finishes and applications
Innovation also expands the creative possibilities of natural stone.
New treatments, formats and finishes are driving applications in:

- Façades
- Public spaces
- Premium projects
Visitors will be able to discover materials, solutions and proposals presented by exhibiting companies specialising in processing and manufacturing.
4. Commercial digitisation and global connectivity
Technology not only transforms production, but also the way we sell.
Digital tools, online catalogues, visual systems and new forms of commercial presentation are accelerating the internationalisation of the sector.
StoneGal will bring together national and international companies that understand innovation not only as an industrial process, but also as business growth and global expansion.

The market is increasingly demanding sustainable solutions and efficient processes.
Innovation is enabling:
