Together with selected industry partners, Bystronic will use the forum as an opportunity to provide information on key issues and current trends in glass processing. This Partner Forum backs up Bystronic’s claim to be a complete solutions provider, going far beyond the basic machine technology.

There will be no stinting on the festivities at the Bystronic stand this year either. glasstec 2004 is the ideal setting for Bystronic to celebrate its 40 year jubilee together with customers, potential customers and friends of the company. Bystronic will be presenting visitors to the exhibition stand in Hall 14, stand no. 14E18 with Swiss specialities during “Swiss Hour“, which will be held each day between 5.00 and 6.00 pm.
