In 2025, Glass for Europe is joining a new industry alliance to promote manufacturing investment, innovation, job creation, and economic growth in Europe.

Flat glass manufacturing in Europe is currently facing record-low demand due to economic downturns in both the construction and automotive sectors. At the same time, the industry’s global competitiveness is being eroded by high energy prices and rising operating and regulatory costs.

To strengthen its advocacy for European competitiveness, local manufacturing, and fair international competition, Glass for Europe has officially joined AEGIS Europe. This alliance focuses on:

  • Promoting manufacturing, investment, employment, growth and innovation in Europe in a fair international competition and a level playing field environment;
  • Ensuring the effective and predictable enforcement of the EU’s trade defence system;
  • Advocating against distortions, notably those from state-run or other non-market economies, which risk endangering jobs and know-how in Europe’s industrial value chains.

Glass for Europe will actively contribute to working groups focused on advocacy, public procurement, industrial policy, and the Carbon Border Adjustment Task Force.

With key initiatives like the forthcoming Clean Industrial Deal and evolving geopolitical dynamics, joining this alliance is a strategic priority. Glass for Europe looks forward to a productive and impactful collaboration.
