Ornamental rocks

Consolidation of industry - mixing with other ornamental rocks.

Even though natural stone means marble, granite, slate etc., the reality is each of them has been almost separate worlds up to now. Their cost structure is different, but often even the markets are different. Marble is exported by some companies to almost 75 countries in the world, for granite the biggest companies say there are no more than 25 countries to sell to. There is very little contact and exchange of information between the world of marble and the world of granite. But this may be changing. More and more the two different worlds will be collaborating as the costs of selling and finding new clients become prohibitive. Sales networks of different companies are likely to merge or at least collaborate closely; warehouses are becoming common to both. Their final client is almost always the same. Will the two come together?
