Registering more than 1,200 exhibitors from 56 countries on over 60,000 square metres, glasstec 2024 offers a comprehensive spectrum of innovations and forward-looking technologies in glass production, finishing and applications.
A particular highlight is the special show “Handwerk Live/Craft LIVE”, which makes tomorrow’s glazier trade experienceable and presents innovative products as well as crafts applications live. Craftspeople from all over Germany and neighbouring countries are invited to test their skills, exchange with colleagues and explore the latest trends in glass and construction glass.
Traditionally, the meeting point for networking and comparing notes for the glazier trade from throughout Germany has been the joint stand of the Federal Association of Glazier Trades in Hall 10, Stand C60.
Here visitors are in for an extensive programme focusing on practical applications and continuing education in the glazier trade. This is where theory and practice meet – ideal for crafts outfits that wish to gear up for the future.

A varied line-up of expert lectures and workshops provides insights into tomorrow’s trends. Industry experts share their knowledge and provide hands-on tips for implementation on the job:
- What distinguishes one shower from another
- Glass and sustainability – does this work?

WorldSkills Germany: focusing on young talents
Another highlights of glasstec 2024 are the national finals of WorldSkills Germany. Here six talented glaziers under the age of 25 will be competing to qualify for EuroSkills 2025. Spectators can experience hands-on how the contestants will give proof of their skills in an exciting challenge.
Experience glass art: special show “glass art”
For all those wanting to discover the artistic side to glass, the special show “glass art” in Hall 16 has a fascinating selection of artworks from international galleries in store.
