Gimav members roll out their quintessential industrial glass-processing solutions for the American market.

Everything is ready for the glass industry’s number-one North American event, slated to take place in Las Vegas September 12-14. 

Sponsored by the National Glass Association, the Glass, Window & Door Expo is now in its 16th year. As always, in even-numbered years, the show is hosted in Las Vegas, Nevada, where 450 glass industry businesses will display their best products over a surface area of 50,000 square meters of exhibit space. 

Thirteen Italian companies will participate, introducing their top Italian-made glass-processing products to the North American market. 

The group stand, organized by Gimav in partnership with ITA (Italian Trade Agency), will occupy an area of 714 m2, 100 more than at the previous Las Vegas edition, held in 2016. 

The most innovative products and latest trends, solutions and applications, including plants and fully-operational machines, will be on display for visitors to GlassBuild America. 

Italy’s industrial glass processing machinery has consistently been recognized for its robust exports, which account for more than 75% of overall revenue, based on GIMAV Study Center figures. 

“As indicated by the data from our Study Center, the United States stands out again this year as the number-one customer of Italian glass-processing technology,” states GIMAV Director Laura Biason. “The Italian Group Stand in Las Vegas aims to uphold our industry’s leadership position in terms of innovation, quality, customization and after-sales service” she continues.
