Cover: Pictured on the cover of the March issue at the Natural Stone Show at ExCeL, London, are George Mrozowski and Anthony Hill, managers of Intamarble, with Pisani machinery specialist Arran Langford in front of the Intermac Master 33 4-axes CNC workcentre that Intamarble have bought for processing granite worktops for the 15-20 kitchens a week they produce. Pisani deal with the sales of Intermac machines in the UK. Intamarble have bought a Master 30, as well as the 33, and George said they had chosen Intermac because of the quality of the machines themselves and the service available from their engineers in the field.
