Forel is celebrating a major milestone in 2026, marking 50 years of activity in the flat glass and insulated glass processing industry with a special event series titled “Forel Week.” Taking place from 12–16 May, the initiative will bring together customers, suppliers, employees, and members of the wider glass community for five days dedicated to collaboration, discussion, and innovation.

The event aims to create a meeting point for professionals across the glass sector, encouraging direct exchange between those developing technologies and the companies using them daily in production. Throughout the week, participants will discuss production efficiency, process organisation, automation, and the future evolution of flat glass processing.

Over the past five decades, the industry has undergone major transformation, moving toward integrated and highly automated solutions designed to improve productivity, quality, consistency, and workplace safety. Forel’s growth has closely reflected these changes, supported by continuous investment in research and development and a long-term focus on innovation.
