In our section devoted to the condition of Polish stone industry we are going to focus today on seaside provinces. Pomeranian and West Pomeranian provinces constitute a special region in Poland, also in terms of stone industry. Seaside resorts full of potential construction stone customers, close to German border (from Szczecin to Berlin there are 150 kilometres of good motorway whereas to get to Warsaw you need to drive 500 kilometres using really bad roads), or Szczecin sea port – the largest centre of block trade in this part of Europe (you can find here practically all companies which deal with block stone trade in Poland), make this region particularly suitable for the development of stone industry.

Ladies and gentleman, on the 31 July the global crisis has finished. These are not my words, I am just repeating them after the governments of the United States of America, Germany and France. It means that there must be something in it. If the largest economies are now making up for their losses, also in Poland the situation will be getting better because these three countries are our most important business partners. We must admit that the situation in Poland has not actually much worsened so we might be afraid that the worst time in Poland is right now and it will last for a few months. The decrease in the  economic situation, like circles in the water made by a thrown stone, begins at the top of the economic ladder and reaches small stone companies with a delay, sometimes after several months. The news concerning a serious turnover decrease in stone trade in the USA, Italy, Spain or Brazil reached us as early as last year.
