THE CLEAN FUTURE OF GLASS MELTING IS NOW!
ECOFURBISHING 2.0
The future of glass melting has to be energy efficient, sustainable and clean. That’s what we strive for in every little detail of our furnace designs. Any kind of optimisation can contribute to a more sustainable glass melting process.
We are facing the global challenges by constantly working on new innovations. All-electric furnaces and hybrid furnaces are only the beginning of the furnace-efficiency-revolution.
China Glass 2021: the return!
The 31st China International Glass Industrial Technical Exhibition (hereinafter referred to as China Glass 2021) will be held at Shanghai New International Expo Centre from May 6th to 9th, 2021.
Facing the impact of Covid-19 in 2020, China took the lead in containing the epidemic and economic recovery and was the only country among the major economies to achieve positive economic growth. The 2020 year’s overall production of Chinese glass industry maintained growth, the total annual output of flat glass up to 950 million weight cases, which increased by 1.3% year on year, meanwhile the total revenue and profit of the industry were 92.6 billion Yuan and 13 billion Yuan, which had an increase 39% year on year, this shows steadily growth among glass industry benefits. On the processed glasses, the accumulative output of toughened glass, laminated glass and insulating glass was up respectively to 530 million square meters, 110 million square meters and 150 million square meters in 2020. The overall production remains stable.
pavilions and many mainstream brands in the global glass industry, including: LiSEC, Glaston, AGC, Vonardenne, SEPR, Vesuvius, Diptech, Kuraray, Koemmerling, QUANEX, Zippe, Air Liquide, Air Products & Chemicals, Fives Stein, Grenzebach, Benteler, Fenzi, Intermac, Honeywell, Carl Zeiss, Siemens, Schneide, etc.
The exhibiting area for both glass sheets and large comprehensive glass equipment manufacturers is allocated in hall N2 whilst the exhibiting area for glass production and deep-processing equipment is allocated in hall N3, N4, N5 and W5. Hall W4 is an exhibition area for small and medium-sized enterprises who involve in daily glass, decorative glass, abrasives, accessories, hardware, accessories and other fields. All these halls are full of the latest Chinese-made technology and innovation.
International confidence
The year 2021 is the first year of China's 14th Five-Year Plan, its economic development will turn to a high-quality development stage. China will continue to expand domestic demand, build a new development pattern, stabilize and expand consumption, improve the new urbanization strategy and other top-level policy implementation, so as to promote further development in the energy efficiency building, automobile, consumer electronics and photovoltaic industry. The energy saving and carbon reduction in construction industry is a key link to implement the goals of both "Reaching the Peak of Carbon" and “"Carbon Neutral" in China, therefore the energy saving glass, power generation glass and other innovative materials and products will provide more application directions for the development of green low-carbon buildings.
Process chain
As the most influential and grand exhibition in global glass industry in 2021, China Glass 2021 has always presented the development achievements of the global glass industry from a professional and international perspective and build up a professional technology and trade exchange platform for the industry with super large exhibition scale. The overall display scale of China Glass 2021 will exceed 90,000 square meters. More than 900 enterprises from 23 countries and regions will participate in the event and come from China, Germany, Italy, the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Japan, Austria, Belgium, Finland, Israel, Czech Republic, Singapore, etc. The exhibition products cover the whole industry chain of the glass industry including: flat glass production, manufacturing, glass products, application technology, deep processing equipment, raw materials, refractories and other subdivided industries.
Mainstream brands are ready for display
The coming exhibition will use 7 halls in Shanghai New International Expo Centre. Among the halls, the international exhibiting area is allocated in hall N1 where will gather the German and Italian national
Due to the impact of the overseas epidemic, although the number of foreign exhibitors has declined, the most of mainstream manufacturers at home and abroad still show confidence in the exhibition.
