Youd and Matteo Giaretta all
have long experience in the

Bristol head office in Westbury-on-Trym, Bristol.
Chris and Adrian will be keeping
up their connections with specifiers and contractors to satisfy
project requirements and Matteo

known.

much faster deliveries that we are
offering we expect to see some
solid growth over the next few
years.”

Alongside exhibitors’ wide
ranges the comprehensive
supporting programme
with special shows and
conferences makes glasstec

mechanical engineering,
the industry, crafts as well
as solar technology. Some
accompanying events and
special themes are also explicitly aimed at architects/
(façade) planners and civil
engineers.
The general trends at
glasstec 2014 include thin
and curved glass, glass
printing and coatings,
display glass and technical
glass applications (e.g. LED/
OLED), building integrated
photovoltaics/solar thermal
energy, glass and material
combinations on façades,
laser technology as well as
glass recycling.
