The Brazilian Natural Stone Association (Centrorochas) is a nationwide entity managed by the entrepreneurs themselves, focused on business and corporate activities in the international market. It aims to address collective issues, promote exports, and streamline the ornamental stone sector.

Founded on September 16, 2004, in Vitória, the capital of Espírito Santo—the largest producer and exporter of ornamental stones in Brazil—Centrorochas works directly on matters related to encouraging and supporting Brazilian entrepreneurs abroad, as well as enhancing the international visibility of national products in the global market. This is combined with commercial and operational activities related to the development of the stone sector in the Brazilian market.

The association works to promote a cooperative spirit within the sector, reaching micro, small, medium, and large exporting entrepreneurs across the country. All of Centrorochas’ actions are focused on stimulating foreign trade and developing Brazilian stone-exporting companies, and are shared with its members in a transparent and clear manner.
