ATIV is pleased to announce that Dr. Alberto Biavati of the Bormioli Rocco group representing the hollow glass sector, and Prof. Ing. Paolo Rigone of Milan Polytechnic and Uncsaal Director the flat glass sector have recently joined the Governing Board.
“We are confident that such a boosting in professionality and knowledge can be appreciated by all players in our sector,” said Alessandro Bandini, ATIV President.
“Since January 2016 we also started the A.T.I.V. (Associazione Tecnici Italiani del Vetro) membership campaign, and as every year new members are invited to either enrol in our association, and current members to renew your membership.”
“ATIV operates thanks to the support of its members and every year a successful membership campaign confirms our efforts to improve the techno/scientific knowledge of our members and of
the players in the glass sector.
“I take this opportunity to inform you of the usual annual meeting organized by ATIV:
GLASS: BETWEEN TECHNIQUE AND CRE-ATIV-ITY
This event, located in Parma at the Centro Sant’Elisabetta on October 20 and 21, 2016, is meant as a technical focus on innovation in the glass sector.
The meeting will be split into two sessions, one on hollow and one on flat glass, and will have the following main themes:
– “Energy efficiency in ovens (kilns) and production optimization”,
– “Glass in architecture among structural engineering legislation, energy and acoustic performance, and environmental sustainability – Innovation in production processes for building materials.
The introductory day of October 20 is devoted to two workshops, during which technicians will have the opportunity to follow practical examples both on glass defects (analysis of bubbles, stones, inclusions, cords,
knots, fractures) and on its mechanical properties.
The session on flat glass will bring out practical examples on glass design in architecture, both as a construction material and as an energy and acoustic-efficient material with high environmental sustainability.
