This month’s issue includes interviews with O-I, the AFGM and Knauf Insulation as well as a variety of technical articles on Forming in the glass process.
We interview Jan Schep, who was recently honoured by the Hotbels event in the USA.
After being hired in the glass industry on a three-month contract, he is thriving as Global Melting Strategy and Integration Leader for O-I Glass 33 years later.
Elsewhere we preview the forthcoming AFGM glass conference in Bali, Indonesia with Jonathan Aquino, AFGM Chairman, and Henry Susanto and Harris Hendraka of the Indonesian Glass Manufacturers Association.
We focus on Knauf Insulation's recent environmental project at its Vise, Belgium facility.
Our technical feature is on Forming and we have articles from Konatic, Heye International, Sklostroj and Siemens collaboration as well as an IS machine from T&T to be installed at Glass Futures.
