GlassPrint, Europe’s only dedicated conference and exhibition for glass decoration, will return to Düsseldorf, Germany on 25th and 26th November 2015.
Decoration is a key process in the manufacture of architectural, automotive and hollow glass, and adds considerably more value to the end product. GlassPrint 2015 is a two-day event that will present anyone involved with this important and expanding sector with the latest trends and developments for the decoration of all types of glass.
Powered by glasstec, GlassPrint 2015 follows on from the 2013 event that was deemed an outstanding success by the record audience of approximately 200 international glassmakers, glass decorators and leading suppliers.
