For the first time as an independent company, REFEL took part in glasstec with its own stand and a substantial team: both the General Managers were there, together with the colleagues from Sales and R&D, and the support from the team in San Vito.

Held every other year, glasstec is the leading glass fair that brings together more than 1,200 exhibitors from 52 countries with over 40,000 trade visitors from more than 100 countries. It provides an unparalleled overview of the industry, from manufacturing to process innovations to new products and their applications.

A lot of visitors came to the stand, old costumers as well as new ones, and there was plenty of interest from other exhibitors and trade fair visitors in general.

General Manager M. Maion said: “It is always a pleasure to meet existing and new potential customers. Our efforts have been prized: we came back with visibly increased interest in our high quality refractories”.

Also General Manager E. Wolff was glad about REFEL’s presence:“We came back as a ‘new’ player to this important event, our team worked hard to prepare the show and everything around it, but the effort was worth the result”.

Before long, REFEL will be preparing for glassman South America (14-15 May 2019, Sao Paulo Expo, Brazil).
