glasstec 2026 to host global glass industry leaders in Düsseldorf

The glasstec 2026 trade fair, scheduled to take place in Düsseldorf from October 20 to 23, will serve as a global meeting point for the glass industry value chain. The event is expected to host over 1,100 exhibitors from around the world, focusing on key industry themes including artificial intelligence, digital technologies, decarbonization, and the circular economy.

A dedicated session titled ‘GlassPrint LIVE’ will be held on October 20 to explore trends in glass decoration. The program will feature market analysis and industry insights, including a presentation by Oliver Kammann of K-Flow Consulting on glass container decoration trends and a session by Fredrik Källvist of Ardagh Glass Europe regarding value-added decoration.

The event will also act as the official launch platform for GlassPrint 2027, which is set to return to Düsseldorf in late 2027.
