The conference is a unique opportunity to catch up with the latest technology and talk to other professionals. Founded in 1992, Glass Processing Days is organized biannually in Tampere, and last summer attracted nearly 900 guests from all over the world. As the growing Chinese construction industry needs a developing glass industry, Glaston Technologies arranged in 2004 for the first time a local Chinese daughter conference. It is now being held annually in conjunction with Asia's largest glass industry fair, China Glass Expo. The Glass Processing Days China conference raised wide interest again and received a record number of visitors. The main topic of the conference's wide range of presentations was energy efficiency in buildings, which can significantly be contributed to with the help of glass. The so-called energy glass as well as its coating and tempering technology has for several years been the most interesting topic area for the conference and its guests. The Ghina Glass Expo is also being held in Beijing on 25-28 April. In 2005, almost 35,000 visitors took part in the fair, at which Glaston Technologies companies Tamglass and Bavelloni are exhibitors. Tamglass and Bavelloni are strengthening their business operations in China, where Tamglass has had production since 2001.
