Glasstec 2026, the international trade fair for the glass industry, has come to a close. Held in Düsseldorf from October 20 to 23, the event brought together companies and industry professionals from around the world.
For Forel, this year’s edition was particularly meaningful, as it coincided with the company’s 50th anniversary. Four days filled with meetings, valuable discussions, and new opportunities, during which we showcased our latest innovations and strengthened relationships with customers and partners from across the globe.
Among the innovations showcased at the Forel booth, the new High Speed Thermoplastic IG Line attracted particular attention. Designed for high-volume insulating glass production, this solution combines advanced automation, continuous production flow, and the flexibility of thermoplastic spacer technology.
Alongside this major innovation, visitors had the opportunity to explore other Forel technologies covering different stages of glass processing:
The trade fair also provided a valuable opportunity to discuss evolving market needs and the challenges facing the glass industry. These conversations translated into tangible business results, including the signing of major contracts. A positive outcome that reflects the international market’s continued interest in Forel’s solutions.
The success of this year’s event was the result of a team effort involving many people, from the design and development of our technologies to the planning and execution of our participation in the trade fair.
A special thank you goes to all the customers and partners who visited our booth, showed interest in our solutions, and shared their ideas and perspectives on the future of the industry.
We would also like to thank the entire Forel team, both those who joined us in Düsseldorf and those who worked behind the scenes, for their dedication and contribution to making this event a success.
See you at the next Glasstec!
