An industry meeting with tradition: For decades, the Isolar Annual Conference has been a fixture in the calendars of national and international members of the Isolar Group. The conference offers a platform for knowledge transfer, innovation and personal interaction.
In 2025, participants travelled to historic Chaves in Portugal, where VitroChaves, a long-standing member of the Isolar family, had extended an invitation and where visitors were able to look forward to a varied program.
Focus on future topics

Numerous presentations and discussion panels addressed current challenges facing the industry, ranging from technical innovations and questions of sustainability and energy efficiency to the possibilities of artificial intelligence in an increasingly complex competitive environment.
Economic and political conditions were also examined during the conference in order to strategically equip the companies in the group for the future.
Added value through community

The conference once again demonstrated how valuable the exchange within the Isolar Group is. Open, practical know-how, dialogue on an equal footing, and learning from one another create the basis for successfully mastering technical, economic, and regulatory challenges.
“Only together can we master the future,” emphasized Hans-Joachim Arnold.
