From 13 to 15 March 2015, 130 exhibitors entered into dialogue with 3,222
trade visitors at GLASSPEX INDIA 2015 – International Exhibition for Glass -
Production, Processing, Products in Mumbai. For the fourth time on the glass
industry’s platform in the Bombay Convention & Exhibition Centre,
visitors gathered information and entered into an exchange on the latest
products and innovations from the sectors of glass manufacturing, finishing
and glass applications.
Despite the difficult market
environment, the trade fair has established itself as a platform for the
exchange of themes, contact-making and business deals on the Indian market.
Exhibitors from 13 countries (India, Germany, France, England, Italy, Singapore,
China, Taiwan, Czech Republic, Austria, Iran, Finland and the USA) underlined
their satisfaction with the quality of the visitors.
Werner M.
Dornscheidt, President and CEO Messe Düsseldorf GmbH, values the Indian
subcontinent as a venue for the event: “Despite the marked decline in the Indian
glass industry over the last two years, India is a market experiencing strong
growth and the glass industry is an attractive economic sector. Growth is
already expected in the second half of this year. The rising standard of living
in India is ensuring great demand for the material glass, which is being used in
an increasing number of applications in daily life.”
The conference staged
by the All India Glass Manufacturers’ Federation accompanied GLASSPEX INDIA 2015
on 13 and 14 March. Support here was provided by the Confederation of
Construction Products and Services (CCPS). The conference rounded off the
multi-faceted range of products and services presented by the fair and informed
the participants about themes including “Cost Effective Technology in Container
Glass for Tomorrow” and “Use of Glass in Buildings – Facades of the Future; and
need for Regulations relating Human Impact, Fire Safety & Energy”. On both
days the event welcomed top-ranking national and international participants.
As the organizer of GLASSPEX INDIA, Messe Düsseldorf GmbH can draw on
its extensive know-how, which it has acquired through the staging of the
world-leading trade fair glasstec in Düsseldorf. The most important trade fair
for the glass sector enables the opening-up of the market and a dialogue with
other target groups of importance to the Indian market. In addition, GLASSPEX
INDIA 2015 with AIGMF (All India Glass Manufacturers’ Federation) and the VDMA
(German Engineering Federation which supported the official participation by the
Federal Republic of Germany), has strong cooperation partners. The Italian
Association GIMAV also provided support for the Italian participation.
The next GLASSPEX INDIA will be held from 2 to 4 March 2017 in Mumbai.
