International Glass Machinery Industry
The glass equipment industry has high dependence on the international market, building safety regulations in many countries have mandatory use of architectural glass, high-rise buildings, and energy efficiency requirements for low-e insulated safety glass demand will push to continue to rise. Low-e glass production and processing equipment to become the focal point of the major glass equipment manufacturers, who wins in this battle, who will win in the future. For example, the proportion of the total sales of the country’s exports of major European production is generally more than 70%, glass professional exhibition to become one of the effective marketing channels. The glass machine equipment industries are actively to participate in a major exhibition.
ESTABLISH GOOD IMAGE OF GLASS MACHINERY INDUSTRY OF CHINA
One tree does not make a forest. The shaping of the glass machinery brands of China needs to put in more efforts. This needs to be led by industry associations, by the support of export enterprise, through the formal channels of commercial publicity and public relations, establish the brand image of the “China Glass Machinery” to external. Industry associations in Italy and Germany made a model worth emulating their experiences. The good prospects of glass fine processing development will remain a high-speed source for the development of glass edging machine manufacturing industry in China. It is expected from 2011 to 2013, the annual growth of the automotive and architectural laminated safety glass demand in China is about 30%, which means that, glass machinery industry in China has huge development potential, stamina is enough. China’s processing glass machinery market demand shows a steady upward trend.
THE FOCUS AND DIRECTION OF THE GLASS DEEP PROCESSING
In the two big applications for construction and automotive, glass products, as a base material, increasingly play more roles further diversification to various functions, light weight and the development of complex shapes. This brings opportunities and challenges for glass production and processing equipment. Oil and energy crisis is bound to promote the countries in the world to pay more attention to energy conservation, and the corresponding legal system will be gradually established and perfected. Currently, the development trend of the world glass processing equipment is flexible production process and production equipment multifunctional, the process having a high degree of repeatability, the machining process is more accurate. Automotive and architectural glass in reducing the thickness of the thin glass to glass deep-processing equipment and processing technology, need higher demands. A lot of glass deep-processing enterprises are improving the efficiency of the production line, integrating deep processing of various aspects of the production process. All these have become the trend of the future development of glass deep processing equipment.
