VITRUM Specialized
Twelve logos that identify the main outlet sectors to which the offer of our Exhibitors is oriented, identifying thematic paths that will guide you in meeting the companies of greatest interest.
You will find the Specializeds relating to each Company indicated in the Catalogue, on the maps of the Pavilions and on VITRUM Magazine, where a section full of news from the Exhibitors and the world of glass awaits you for each of the twelve Specialized!
The qualities that we experience with the daily use of glass objects are possible thanks to the know-how and technologies that permeate the entire production chain.
We have identified ten peculiar qualities of glass, creating, through them, thematic itineraries complementary to the VITRUM Specialized that will guide you to discover the Exhibitors who contribute with know-how, technologies and solutions to make glass a unique and inimitable material in every field in which it is applied.
GLASS IS... The qualities of glass
the glass industry protects safety with the sterility of glass for pharmaceuticals or the resistance of car windscreens
glass is a valid alternative to more polluting materials for various uses, so as to arouse the desire for a healthier and more beautiful environment
glass returns reality for what it is, both in the images and in the use of foods that are not compromised in any way
glass allows us to communicate through the screens of commonly used technological devices, from computers and tablets to smartphones and smartwatches
today thanks to new technologies it is also possible to create flexible glass, but by its nature glass has always been a material that can be adapted to different uses
the reliability and excellence of the glass industry date back to a very important history and tradition which has evolved over the centuries and has led to the affirmation of the material as it is known today
