Vitrum 2025 in Milan once again highlights how the glass industry is reshaping itself through innovation and sustainability. Exhibitors are presenting next-generation technologies such as new glass furnaces for lower emissions, advanced digital glass printing solutions and new insulating glass systems with improved efficiency and precision. Automation, smart diagnostics and step-by-step digitalisation are also key subjects, showing how manufacturers are tackling labour challenges while meeting higher quality and regulatory demands.
Vitrum has grown into a platform that connects not only producers and suppliers, but also researchers, start-ups and institutions from across the world. This global exchange fosters collaboration and positions the fair as a hub for anticipating market trends, from low-carbon glass to new design possibilities. The result is an event that combines cutting-edge innovation with a truly international dialogue on the future of glass.
