Some information following visit Glasstec
The number of visitors seemed correct, especially Wednesday, but not at the level of the great years of Glasstec.
Exhibitor Questions It seems that the machine market continues to be difficult. Hall 16, usually completely occupied by Italian factories, was not completely filled and non-Italian stands were quite often seen.
We have seen drastic reductions in the area occupied by certain factories. The most impressive was that of Besana, very far from the great years of Besana. Macotec, the cutting table manufacturer, also reduced the area and no longer occupied a joint stand with Movetro. Even the factories which traditionally occupied impressive surfaces (Intermac, Bottero) had reduced their surface. Denver, which was growing year by year, was also on a smaller surface.
Forvet and Forel were still impressive (as was Lisec, of course, Hall 17).
Neptun continues to grow, still driven by the US market.
Bavelloni, since its acquisition by 4 of its executives continues to progress and returns to the recipes of what had made its success.
CMS presented for the first time a bilateral.
On several stands was presented a manipulator that loaded and unloaded 2 edgers positioned opposite each other.
