China International Glass Industrial Technical Exhibition (China Glass) was founded by the Chinese Ceramic Society in 1986. It is the only large-scale exhibition in China's glass industry independently organized and hosted by a professional institution, and the only one endorsed by authoritative domestic and international organizations such as the China Building Materials Federation, the China Architectural & Industrial Glass Association, the China Daily Glass Association, the German Engineering Federation (VDMA), and the Italian Association of Glass Processing Machinery and Accessory Manufacturers (GIMAV). With full independent intellectual property rights, the exhibition is committed to building a world-class platform for global glass industry trade cooperation and technological innovation.
After 38 years of development, China Glass has become a benchmark event in the global glass industry, renowned for its professionalism, internationalization, and scale. It serves as the premier platform for technology exchange, product display, and trade collaboration in the glass sector, with its influence widely recognized by international consulting institutions as a key window into market trends.
