Thermoseal Group’s new innovations and machinery proved to be a smash hit at this year’s Glasstec Exhibition in Dusseldorf, held between October 22-25, 2024.

And the interest in Thermoseal Group’s automated processes and machinery proved to be a particular highlight, according to Sales Director, Mark Hickox.

“People were very interested in the automation aspect of Thermoflex, which is, of course, now certified as the best performing flexible silicone rubber spacer bar in the world.

“We had lots of conversations with people on our stand about the cost saving benefits of automation, as well as the conductivity values and performance of Thermoflex, compared to other thermo-plastic spacers on the market.”

New Thermobar ancillaries were also on show, including a complete range of plastic straight connectors, which promise to increase efficiencies, reduce waste, and improve product quality for IGU manufacturers.

“Exhibitions like Glasstec give us the chance to show how committed we are to the international market, which has only been strengthened by our acquisition by Fenzi, and collaboratively place Thermoseal Group’s British-manufactured products on even more global stages”, explained Mark.

“They also allow us to showcase the breadth of products and services that we offer.”

This included Thermoseal Group’s new hot melt machinery. The purpose-built machines feed flexible spacer lines, creating automated efficiencies and holding a reservoir of approximately 200 litres of hot melt.

And Thermoseal Group’s annual ThermoBAR event, held on the evening of October 23rd, was once-again a success, bringing together over 150 industry specialists – including new owners, Fenzi.

“It was great to celebrate with colleagues and friends, old and new, at our ThermoBAR event. Glasstec is a wonderful event to network, and our annual celebration gives everyone the chance to let their hair down over a drink and catch up!”
