Already The Glass Machinery Company is expecting a busy time at Glasstec 2012 with most of the company’s suppliers attending in force at the Dusseldorf exhibition. The leading glass machinery provider has a convincing reputation across the UK and will be present in Germany to discuss new and existing customer requirements alongside the companies it represents.

Headed up by Phil Birchall, Managing Director, The Glass Machinery Company team is very positive regarding the exhibition despite the difficult economic conditions of the last two years.

It is clear that there is now an optimistic determination once again happening in the glass sector. This is extremely encouraging for everyone as there is a positive outlook prevailing about the entire exhibition.” Some of the notable companies attending have new improvements or additions to their ranges which will be shared at Glasstec.
