Reflections on the glass industry: insights and forecasts from Glasstec 2024
Glass processing & finishing Spot On
Glasstec is the major annual event for the global glass processing and finishing sector, and Oaklins was at the 2024 edition to gather insights and perspectives. With the industry standing at a significant crossroads, we reveal three key themes in our latest Spot On that were covered during the event along, with a selection of opinions on these subjects from those taking part and our own expert view.
