In mid-May, the SANCO Group convened for its 52nd Annual General Meeting in the bustling Polish city of Gdansk, where over 100 representatives from Europe’s premier alliance of insulating glass manufacturers congregated to deliberate on the industry’s latest trends.
A climate-conscious ethos pervaded the discussions as partner companies underscored their united front and expressed optimism amidst prevailing market challenges. Central to their discourse was the pivotal role of the SANCO product array in promoting environmentally sustainable construction practices.
Partners Reaping the Benefits of Low CO₂ Values in Float Glass
Dr. Fabian Zwick, the CEO of the esteemed Glas Trösch Group and representative of the licensor, extended gratitude to the partner firms for their unwavering trust. Against the backdrop of stringent EU directives, he shed light on the Group’s sustainability blueprint and underscored the primacy of eco-friendliness. “Our commitment lies in attaining minimal CO₂ emissions across our entire product spectrum,” Dr. Zwick remarked. Citing a recent Environmental Product Declaration (EPD), he revealed that the group’s standard float glass boasts CO₂ emissions nearly 20% lower than the industry benchmark stipulated by the German Flat Glass Association. This commendable feat translates into tangible advantages for all SANCO partner entities.
A Robust Alliance – Empowered Team
In his capacity as Head of SANCO Consulting, Antonio Gioello extended appreciation to the members for their steadfast allegiance and lauded the Group’s achievements. Introducing the SANCO consulting cadre, he accentuated their role in advocating for member interests, offering technical expertise, and elevating brand visibility through strategic marketing initiatives. Against the backdrop of the event’s locale, Gioello recognized the pivotal contributions of the nine Polish companies within the conglomerate. The event’s agenda featured a keynote speech on the escalating significance of artificial intelligence (AI) in the industry landscape, enhancing the conference’s intellectual appeal.
Looking Ahead
