Today we start a series of reports which are to familiarise our readers with the general situation on Polish stone market. We start with some information from Lower Silesia. We have chosen this region  not accidentally since here we can find Strzegom - Polish capital city of stone industry, and here is also WrocLaw where the largest stone fair in Poland are held. Lower Silesia has the greatest number of mines, the largest variety of deposits (Strzegom granite being the most famous), the greatest number of processing plants in Poland, stone importers, producers and sellers of stone processing machines and accessories.  

We know the date of the Stone 2009 fair in Poznan. Stone 2009, since it is the official name of the fair this year, is going to be held on 4-7 November. Kamien fair in Wroclaw is going to take place at the same time. The date of Poznan fair this year was surprising for every one. The organisation of the Stone 2009 fair almost on the same days as the largest fair in Poland (Kamien in Wroclaw is going to start only one day later) will surely cause confusion. As the organisers of Poznan fair say, the date was suggested by the representatives of stone industry. They also say that in the situation of economic crisis many companies cannot afford to be at the fair twice. Besides, the organisers gave up the idea - also, as they say, on request of the exhibitors from stone industry - of combining this event with glass fair.
