The Leading International Glass Event for the entire Middle East, MENA and Maghreb region
“Totally glass...totally focused”
In line with our plans to make Gulf Glass the premier biennial glass event for the region, we have been delighted to secure the inspiring venue of ADNEC in Abu Dhabi, arguably the most state-of-the-art exhibition facility in the entire Middle East. For more details, check out www.adnec.ae for the 2011 show. This positions Gulf Glass right at the very centre of the Middle East's glass thumping heart after three previous successful outings in Sharjah.
These are exciting times for the Middle East once more. After the economic downturn, the focus is once again on expansion. Glass consumption is rising across the flat, processed, and container glass sectors of the market as confidence floods back into the market, and Abu Dhabi finds itself at the very centre of all the activity... don't miss out on your slice of the action!
Gulf Glass 2011:
Where the global glass industry meets...
As Gulf Glass 2011 Exhibition closes its doors at ADNEC, Abu Dhabi, those that exhibited and visited leave with an optimism and expectation for the region’s growing glass industry.
The 4th Gulf Glass exhibition was inaugurated today by His Excellency Sheikh Mubarak Salem Musallam Al Ameri, Second Vice-President of the Abu Dhabi Chamber of Commerce and Industry, at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibitions Centre (ADNEC), in the presence of high-level officials and exhibitors from over 20 countries.
The organisers of Gulf Glass 2011 are delighted to announce that His Excellency Sheikh Mubarak Salem Musallam Al Ameri, the Second Vice President of the Abu Dhabi Chamber of Commerce & Industry will officially inaugurate the exhibition.
Saudi Advanced Industries Company (SAIC) has said that its glass manufacturing subsidiary has began the operation of its glass furnace. Obeikan Glass Company, in which SAIC owns a 40% stake, will require 4-5 weeks until the furnace reaches maximum heat. At that stage, the compay will then start producing float glass within 2-3 weeks as fine tuning of the process takes place.
Emirates Glass LLC (EGL), one of the region's leading processors of premium architectural flat glass products and a subsidiary of Glass LLC, wholly owned by Dubai Investments (DI), today announced the launch of VitroGlaze, an eco-friendly glass with a chemically treated surface that keeps away dirt and grime.
The Pakistan Glass Manufacturers Association (PAGMA) has hailed the decision of the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) that glass-manufacturing industry producing exportable goods is eligible for financing under the SBP Long-Term Financing Facility (LTFF). A representative of the sector said high production costs in Pakistan are a major impediment preventing Pakistan’s glassmakers from being competitive in the international market
The Gulf Glass Series in the UAE brings you, the exhibitor, other benefits aside from a
highly receptive Emirates audience. Neighbouring states, too, seek rapid diversification
and, in some cases, higher quality development than has hitherto been the case. In
addition, rapid expansion across North and East Africa and in the wider Middle Eastern
region means that glass consumption is rising rapidly.
Gulf Glass is the most respected glass exhibition series
in the region and is the one show you can be sure that all
those related to glass production and consumption put right
at the top of their "Must Attend" list.
From refractories and raw materials to container, flat and float glass manufacturing and
processing technology, Gulf Glass provides the perfect one-stop platform for all those
concerned with the sector.
