High footfall at glasstec
11th October 2016

Bohle showcased its glass processing consumables, tooling and machinery at this year’s, Glasstec.

With visitor numbers for the bi-annual event held in Düsseldorf, topping 40,200, Bohle reported high levels of footfall to its 9,000m2 stand featuring a range of machinery, fittings, UV bonding, surface protection, consumables, machine tools, vacuum technology and glass processing tools.

“Glasstec is a fantastic reminder of the reach of the glass processing industry from the arts-and-craft movement, through to industrial-scale architectural, automotive and food processing applications”, said Dave Broxton, Managing Director of Bohle in the UK.

“We saw high levels of footfall throughout the show, with a lot of interest in new products, particularly those that deliver high pull-through of core product, for example the FrameTec glass partitioning system.

“Machinery – including the new Versalux + glass belt sander and the new Master Belt sanding machine – also proved popular alongside tooling, including the Scratchaway system and new Aqua Drill Power +, which with a 60Nm torque is the world’s most powerful cordless wet drill.

“People see the opportunities and savings. In my mind, that’s what distinguishes Glasstec – it’s not just it’s global scale but the quality of leads. People come to do business.”

The FrameTec Premium interior partitioning system is geared towards the commercial and office markets. Available in six different dimensions, it delivers exceptional sound insulation of 33dB, while its also certified to EN ISO 10140.

“There are significant forecasts of growth in volumes of glass going into commercial and office applications and the FrameTec system supports glass processors and their customers into tapping in to the opportunities that this generates”, adds Broxton.

Bohle also showcased its Madrid shower door hinge; new high output UV-tube lamps; and the latest incarnations of its oil glass cutting range the Silberschnitt 3000.

Broxton concluded: “What’s encouraging is that we are seeing growth in demand across a number of different sectors - domestic and retail but also commercial markets, which alongside our expanding product portfolio puts us in a very good position as we head towards 2017.”
