Therefore, marble and natural stone companies operating in Denizli could not export through our Association at that time. After 2010, this situation disappeared and DENİB has become regional association, started to serve all exporters.

Our mining sector is one of the most important sectors for us, with its 6 percent share in our total export. We continue to provide services for our exporters with our activities and projects for the sector.
