Yesterday, October 22nd, 2024, marked the opening of glasstec, the world’s leading trade fair for the glass industry.
This year’s event focused on key issues like decarbonization, the circular economy, and digitalization, showcasing how the industry is tackling global challenges and pushing forward with new ideas.
The fair had something for everyone involved in the glass business, from the latest technology in glass production and processing to exciting new glass products and applications. Visitors explored cutting-edge solutions aimed at improving sustainability and integrating digital tech into the sector. The knowledge gained here is sure to give companies a competitive edge.
We were thrilled to meet with glass processors from across the Balkans. The energy at the fair was buzzing, with lots of deals and partnerships being formed between processors, suppliers, and machinery makers. It’s clear that the Balkans are becoming a key player in the glass industry.
There was a big emphasis on high-quality glass, especially with features like solar control and CO2 reduction, which meet European standards for sustainability. Major companies like Sisecam and Guardian Glass are paying close attention to the Balkans, recognizing the region’s growing demand for advanced glass products. In fact, we’ll soon share an exclusive interview with Mr. Erion Sico, Territorial & Architectural Design Manager at Guardian Glass, to get more insight into their plans for the region.
Glasstec 2024 offered an exciting preview of where the glass industry is headed, with a focus on sustainability, technology, and collaboration. The event shows a sector ready for major growth. Stay tuned for more updates, including our interview with Mr. Sico, as we dig deeper into the trends shaping the future of glass.
