Glasstec Germany Düsseldorf Glass Industry Exhibition

【Exhibition Overview】

    The Glasstec Trade Fair for Glass Technology (Glasstec), first held in 1970, is currently the world's largest international glass trade fair. It boasts the widest scope of exhibits, the most comprehensive range of products, and the highest number of participants, making it second to none among global glass exhibitions.

    The fair not only reflects in advance the development trends in glass technology over the next four to five years, but also provides an ideal business and trading platform for glass industry enterprises worldwide, attracting a large number of manufacturers and visitors from the glass manufacturing, machinery production, glass products, hardware accessories, and even photovoltaic sectors across the globe.

    The fair is held concurrently with the International Solar Production Equipment Trade Fair. As glass is an indispensable and important component of the solar energy industry, the solar cell glass sector—being a rapidly growing high-tech industry—has drawn significant attention from the solar industry to this exhibition. In response, the organising committee has specially introduced a brand-new theme focused on photovoltaics and solar energy.
