glasstec 2010 to Present Wide Range of Themes;
1,200 Exhibitors Registered
August 12, 2010
glasstec
2010, International Trade Fair for Glass Production - Processing
- Products, will feature a revised structure including a wider range
of themes than before. For example, solarpeq - International Trade
Fair for Solar Production Equipment, will be held for the first
time concurrently with glasstec, generating new synergies between
the glass and solar sectors of industry. At glasstec and solarpeq
2010, around 1,260 exhibitors will present their innovations in
approximately 678,000 square feet of net exhibition space. About
1,200 companies will exhibit at glasstec 2010 while 160 firms have
registered for solarpeq 2010 - including the exhibitors showcasing
products at both trade fairs. Both events will take place from September
28 - October 1, 2010 at the fairgrounds in Düsseldorf, Germany.
According to show organizers, to date, the largest exhibitor contingents
at glasstec 2010 come from Germany and Italy, followed by China,
Austria and France. Overall, exhibitors from 49 countries will participate
in the trade fair. The companies in Halls 9 -11 will showcase glass
products and applications for flat and hollow glass while in Halls
11 and 12 as well as 14 -17 glass finishing and processing technologies
will be on display. Hall 12 will feature measurement and control
technology as well as software for glass machinery. Companies from
the glass production and production engineering sector will be in
Halls 13 -16. The center of solarpeq will be Hall 14 even though
glasstec exhibitors with solar production technology products will
also be housed in Halls 9 - 17.
Again this year, the key theme at glasstec 2010 will be energy
efficiency with glass since the potential this material holds for
both production engineering and applications is far from being fully
exploited.
Organizers say the trade fair is an equally important platform
for architects, construction engineers, façade planners and
related professions looking for comprehensive information on the
latest trends and applications for glass. A special highlight for
them will be the ancillary events, including the "glass technology
live" special show and symposium, the Architecture Congress,
the "engineered transparency" Conference and the Façade
Center.
The products on display at glasstec and solarpeq 2010 will be complemented
by the ancillary program for skilled craftsmen, the glass art exhibition
as well as the "Autoglass Arena" hosting both the national
and international auto-glazier championships. The solarpeq conference
"SOLAR MEETS GLASS" will bring together solar and glass
industry representatives in a setting of this kind for the first
time.

website.
