Lyon-based group Iris Inspection Machines, batch plant specialist Zippe and furnaces group Electroglass are the latest organisations to confirm their Glassman Europe participation.
Each of these leading technology suppliers to the glass industry have secured their booths at the forthcoming Glassman Europe event.
Glassman Europe is a free to attend combined exhibition and conference dedicated to the hollow and container glass sectors.
Exhibitors encompass everyone from the glassmaking process, from raw materials to packaging, and everything in between.
Some of the other companies which have also agreed to exhibit at the event include Italy’s All Glass, Stara Glass and Emmeti, Germany’s Sorg, Heye International and Pennekamp, the USA’s Henry F. Teichmann and AGR International, and the UK’s FIC UK, among others.
This year’s event also includes two conferences: one devoted to Trends in Glassmaking, the other to Industry 4.0 in glassmaking.
The European Container Glass Industry association, FEVE, also has its Policy and Environmental meeting during the event. Container glassmakers from across the continent will aten the meeting.
The Czech Republic’s Glass Service will also host a training course in Lyon at the same time as Glassman Europe.
