水头，是高点更是起点……

　　Shuitou, Starts from Peak…

       在世界石材这个版图上，水头无疑是一个不能抹去、不容忽视的点。它用了短短二十年的时间，狂飚突进，坐上了中国石材生产贸易基地第一把交椅，石材产量已占到全国石材产量的40%，出口额占全国出口量的45％，全国石材有四成是在水头制造加工，而全国70%以上的石材销售量被水头人掌控，在福建省十大产业集群中，水头石材产业集群排在第一位。水头兴建的闽南建材第一市场已经成为全国最大的“石材城”；世界上所有的石材品种，在水头都能找到。水头，已经成为辐射全国、影响亚太的国际建材人、财、信息流重要集散地。勿庸置疑，与时俱进的水头石材正逐渐走向全球化。而值得一提的是，中国水头国际石材博览会已经成为这只利箭射程远近的关键。

　　Shuitou is definitely a point that is impossible to be effaced and ignored on the stone map of the world. It has gained rapid development in as short as 20 years and became the No.1 stone production and trading base of China with stone production accounting for 40% of the nationwide production and exports taking up 45% of the nationwide exports. 40% of national stones are manufactured and processed in Shuitou and more than 70% of the sales are dominated by Shuitou people. Its stone industry cluster ranks first among the top ten industry clusters of Fujian Province. Minnan First Building Material Market has grown into the largest “Stone City” in China; all varieties of stones from all over the world can be found in Shuitou. Shuitou has become an important distributing center for stone businessmen, finance and information flow in terms of international building materials, radiating its influence across the country and affecting Asia-Pacific area. There is no doubt that the stone industry of Shuitou which always keeps pace with times is embracing globalization. It is worth mentioning that the International Stone Exposition of Shuitou China is critical to its further development.
