Stating that, as the world leader in marble exports, South Korean natural stone importers have the diversity to supply all kinds of natural stones that designers and contractors demand, İbrahim Alimoğlu, President of the Aegean Mineral Exporters Association, said that they want to establish long-term collaborations that will act with a mutual win-win philosophy. He stated that they will be in the Republic of South Korea, and that they believe that the success they achieved in the USA will be achieved in the Republic of South Korea in a short time, with the contribution of the bond of love between the two countries, and that good cooperation will be established.
Pointing out that South Korea is one of the 10 largest economies in the world, Alimoğlu said, “South Korea meets its natural stone needs through imports. They are in the third place in the world rankings in processed natural stone imports. As the Turkish natural stone industry, we chose South Korea as our target market. Our aim will be to meet Korea's annual natural stone need of 1,5 billion dollars with Turkish natural stones in colors and patterns that comply with the standards and the tastes of the users. Our goal is to reach the export level of 50 million dollars in the Korean market. We will be waiting for our South Korean natural stone importer friends in the Turkey pavilion in hall 2 at the Korea Build Week (KINTEX) Fair. "During our stay in the Republic of South Korea, we will meet with the Korean Importers Association (KOIMA), the International Contractors Association of Korea (ICAK), as well as Architects and Interior Designers," he said.
The Turkish natural stone industry will present "Natural Stone Trends in the World and Turkish Natural Stones" to South Korean and importers from all over the world at the Korea Build Week 2024 KINTEX fair.
