West's largest stone trader is expected to enter Shihu Port
In the world of stone, Shishi, once an "unknown" city, has now gained global recognition and emerged as a rising force in the stone industry. This is not just a coincidence. Recently, the "Xiamen International Stone Fair" came to a close, and Brazil's largest stone trader, Marmi Bruno Zanet, led a delegation to visit Shihu Port to explore potential collaborations with Quanzhou Pacific Terminal Company. The Brazilian company is expected to bring its operations to Shihu Port, aiming to witness the growing influence of the "SHU" stone brand in major stone-exporting regions around the world, as well as the port’s strong operational capabilities and high service standards.
"The Xiamen International Stone Fair is the largest stone exhibition globally, attracting the most exhibitors. The event has helped the stone industry rediscover the value of the stone lion and recognize the 'SHU' stone brand," said Liu Hunan, general manager of Quanzhou Pacific Terminal Company. With the continuous growth of the stone business in Shihugang, the "SHU" stone brand, along with XMN (Xiamen Port) and HKG (Hong Kong), ranks among the top imported brands domestically. At the fair, Shihu Port once again took center stage, drawing significant attention from the industry due to its berthing capacity, loading and unloading efficiency, transportation infrastructure, and storage facilities. Marmi Bruno Zanet was one of the many who showed great interest.
Looking back at Shihu Port’s achievements last year, the results were impressive. From January to December 2013, the port handled a total of 2.13 million tons of bulk cargo, representing a 29.7% increase compared to the same period in 2012. Among this, waste stone accounted for 1.74 million tons. In the first two months of 2014 alone, the port processed 600,000 tons of bulk cargo, a year-on-year increase of 140.7%, with waste stone reaching 530,000 tons, up by 175.2%. Despite challenges such as domestic real estate policy adjustments and tariff changes in India, Shishi managed to maintain a high volume of stone imports, proving its strong position in the market.
"The introduction of Brazil’s largest stone trader marks a significant step forward for Shihu Port. It not only diversifies the range of imported stones in Shishi but also strengthens our role in the global stone trade," said Liu Hunan. He added that Shihu Port is one of the largest distribution hubs in Southeast Asia. This partnership is expected to enhance the visibility of the "SHU" stone brand and boost the international reputation of Shishi City. Liu believes that in the future, the "SHU" brand will not only be found in Indian mines, but also in Brazil and other stone-rich regions worldwide.
According to the reporter, after a thorough and detailed investigation, Marmi Bruno Zanet was deeply impressed by the development of the stone trade in Shihugang and satisfied with the local capability to handle large-scale stone operations. He believes that Shihu Port possesses the necessary operational capacity and service quality to support international stone trade, and thus plans to shift its import activities to Shishi in the first half of 2014. Both parties are currently in active discussions to finalize the cooperation.
