Italian technologies take center stage at North America’s leading marketplace for ceramic tiles and natural stone
Acimac heads to the United States for Coverings 2026, the most important trade event in North America dedicated to the ceramic tile and natural stone industry, taking place in Las Vegas from 30 March to 2 April.
As part of the collective exhibition coordinated by Acimac in collaboration with the Italian Trade Agency (ICE), leading companies will be represented, like: BMR, Certech, Interser, Italsad, Omar Crane, Sacmi, Surfaces Group and System. The association’s presence is promoted under the We Are Acimac brand, which showcases the excellence and innovation of Italian ceramic technology worldwide.
On Tuesday, 31 March, the Italian Pavilion (Booth 7432) will also host a networking aperitif titled “Italian Flavors, Global Connections”. This informal yet strategic moment is designed to foster new relationships, exchange ideas and create business opportunities within a dynamic and open environment.
The US market plays a strategic role for Italian manufacturers. While Southeast Asia leads exports of ceramic machinery with €184 million, the NAFTA area remains a key market with €104 million in exports, of which 20–30% is destined for the United States. Prospects for the US market are highly positive, with ceramic production expected to grow steadily by over 4% annually in the 2025–2029 period.
Coverings provides a unique platform to engage with more than 25,000 industry professionals, including distributors, contractors and architects, and to reinforce Italy’s leadership in a sector where “Made in Italy” technology is synonymous with quality and manufacturing excellence.
