glasstec 2022 wraps up today in Düsseldorf, Germany. Many exhibitors reported slower traffic than in years past but added that was expected due to the residual effects of the pandemic. They also said that those who did attend were there for serious purchases.
Machinery companies, in particular, were busy throughout the four-day show.
This includes DeGorter Inc., which represents several lines in the U.S., such as Schiatti Angelo and Pujol, among others.
Schiatti Angelo introduced a 10-spindle edger with self-adjusting diamond wheels.

Pujol highlighted its LAM-PRO laminating line, as well as a variety of Evalam interlayer products. According to Sergio Permanyer Bueno, marketing manager, the LAM-PRO was developed for companies seeking to achieve high performance with little investment.

Show organizers reported 936 exhibitors from 47 countries and 30,000 attendees from 119 countries.
“glasstec 2022 came at precisely the right point in time to provide the glass industry with orientation again after the pandemic-induced changes and in a difficult economic climate,” says Erhard Wienkamp, managing director at Messe Düsseldorf GmbH. “The participants’ feedback has been unambiguous here: as a face-to-face trade fair, glasstec allows the in-depth exchange of experience and knowledge transfer on a global level in a uniquely concentrated form as well as offering an unparalleled, packed line-up of innovations and solutions.”
