Insulating Glass Technology
News
Celebrating 50 years of Forel with four days of innovation, new business achievements and valuable connections at glasstec 2026!
Four intensive days at the trade fair, around 7,000 visitors at the LiSEC booth, engaging discussions and a consistently positive atmosphere.
Discover Forel’s new High Speed Thermoplastic IG Line, unveiled at glasstec 2026, and see how automation and integrated processing deliver up to 30% higher productivity in insulating glass manufacturing.
Discover how automated inline gas fill measurement can reduce quality control costs and calculate the ROI of Sparklike Laser Integrated using your own production data.
At Glasstec 2026, Glaston showed how automation is moving from promise to daily production: from the fifth generation of TPS® technology and a fully automated tempering line already running at a customer’s factory to the new Glaston Select Series, built around a right-fit, reliable choice.
Forel presents Diagnostics 2.0, the new advanced diagnostic system that transforms the way glass processors monitor, manage and optimise their plants.
The right combination of technologies makes the difference. With proven expertise in melting, conditioning and float process, Fives partners with glassmakers to accelerate decarbonization, reduce emissions, lower operating costs and enhance performance.
Under the motto “65 years of experience – shaping the future”, LiSEC invites visitors to experience the future of flat glass processing live at glasstec 2026.
Glass manufacturers explored practical ways to improve furnace performance, strengthen resilience and prepare for the future through a hands-on industry event at Glass Futures.
Discover the Glaston MUNTIN'MASTER with Cobot, a fully automated solution designed to streamline muntin bar positioning in TPS® IGUs.
Joe Hague, International Business Development Manager, FOREL, discusses why face-to-face meetings, such as at FIT Show, is as integral as ever.
As FOREL marks its 50th anniversary, Joe Hague makes the case for why face-to-face connection at FIT Show remains vital to the future of the UK glass and glazing industry.
