GlassBuild America

The glass lifting and handling market is booming, driven by a need to handle larger and heavier lites, to keep employees safe, and to accomplish more with fewer workers.

What’s keeping the glass industry up at night? Exhibitors, attendees and speakers at GlassBuild America all pointed to two major challenges: the ongoing labor shortage and pandemic-related supply chain constraints.

Exhibitors, suppliers return to in-person event with high energy, focus on meeting industry challenges and identify industry trends.

Exhibiting companies have spent the previous year developing new product solutions to address their customers’ top concerns, and these innovations will take center stage at GlassBuild.

As GlassBuild America returns to an in-person event in September, the National Glass Association’s events team offers some how-to’s on having a successful show, before, during and after.

I think for all of us in the industry we may take GlassBuild for granted. It’s always been there, but it’s actually more than a show―it’s the lifeblood of the industry and the NGA. It’s what is needed to be able to have the technical chops, guidelines, bulletins and conferences.  

COVID-19 has turned 2020 plans upside down for us all. It has asked us to adapt and change; to find new ways of connecting, working, collaborating, problem solving. Now it’s forcing us to pivot once more when it comes to our industry’s gathering place.

The in-person GlassBuild America will return to Atlanta in 2021; NGA will host GlassBuild Connect: The Glass & Fenestration Online Experience – to take place the entire month of September.
