The global glass industry is emphasizing innovation, sustainability, and professional development through various international exhibitions and forums. At the upcoming Glasstec 2026 exhibition in Düsseldorf, scheduled for October 20 to 23, companies such as Satinal and Guardian Glass plan to showcase advancements in sustainable materials, digital tools, and AI-driven assistants. The event is expected to host over 1,100 exhibitors and focus on digitalization, decarbonization, and the circular economy. A dedicated session titled ‘GlassPrint LIVE’ will be held on October 20 to explore trends in glass decoration, featuring market analysis and insights from industry experts such as Oliver Kammann of K-Flow Consulting and Fredrik Källvist of Ardagh Glass Europe. Additionally, the event will serve as the official launch platform for GlassPrint 2027. Further details regarding Glasstec 2026 highlight its role as a global meeting point for the industry value chain. Exhibitors like Glass Service intend to present technologies aimed at production efficiency and decarbonization. These include a motorised Venturi mixer with electronic air/gas regulation for combustion control, a high-precision Radar Glass Level machine for furnace management, and a patented refractory-embedded electric forehearth designed to support the transition toward high energy efficiency. In Spain, the industry is addressing both modern and traditional aspects of the sector. The ‘Oficio y Luz’ sessions in Granada aim to preserve artisanal glass techniques through specialized training, while the Glass Forum 2026 in Madrid will host debates on production management, traceability, and recycling processes.
