In March, a new year of important international events started for Gimav, the Association of Italian manufacturers and suppliers of machinery, equipment and special products for glass processing. Market indicators point to potential growth for the industry this year, and the machinery designed in Italy, known and appreciated around the world, is ready to respond to the market thanks to technological innovation, product quality, and immediate response for technical assistance. Thanks to the support of Gimav, Italian firms can also be star players in an abundant schedule of international events, key moments for meeting with buyers from around the world, including Gulf Glass in the United Arab Emirates, China Glass in Shanghai (10-14 May), Mir Stekla in Moscow (6-9 June), GlassBuild America in Atlanta (12-14 September), and Zak Glass Technology International in Mumbai (8-11 December). 2011 is also the year of Vitrum, the leading international showcase for the world of glass, scheduled to take place in Milan 26-29 October. For four days, Milan will become the world capital of the glass industry, with a special focus on technologies aimed at energy savings and the exploitation of renewable energy sources, and a centre-stage opportunity for all Gimav member companies.
