Exhibitor registrations indicate positive outlook for the trade fair “ At the beginning of the year registration figures are comparable with 2018 levels – i . e . before the pandemic . This is a positive signal sent by the glass industry , considering the latest event was one of the most successful ones we had at the homebase in Düsseldorf ,” adds Birgit Horn . Both national and international testimonials supporting this positive trend are featured on the glasstec exhibitor site with the motto “ Let ’ s go live ”.
