In May, 2018, Tianjin glass production base – Tianjin NorthGlass, one subsidiary of NorthGlass Group, successfully produced a piece of almost perfect oversized curved tempered glass with an arc length of 8 meters. It was produced by NorthGlass self-made bent tempering furnace, awaiting the shining moment on "technology live" of glasstec 2018.

“Technology live” has been the most popular central hub of glasstec for years, where cutting-edge glass samples are specially exhibited, an inspirational platform to combine the potential functionality and artistry hidden in the glass.

This time, for glasstec 2018, “technology live” was looking for those innovative products with new concepts and new orientations, finally collecting a series of works from 47 enterprises, organizations and individuals, including those well-known enterprises and academic institutions in Europe and America, such as AGC, Seele, Cricursa, Arcon, Lisec, Glass and Curtain Wall Technology Research Group of Cambridge University, etc..

As the only one among Chinese enterprises to be selected to join in the exhibition area of “technology live”, NorthGlass showcased this oversized laminated curved tempered glass brought by Tianjin NorthGlass. “It is a very successful exhibition beyond my expectation. Industry well-known insiders in Europe even said that this oversized curved tempered glass from NorthGlass was the best one showcased in technology live”, speaking of this glass, Mr. Gao Qi, Vice President of NorthGlass & General Manager of Tianjin NorthGlass, was full of pride:” This exhibition is a great opportunity for Tianjin NorthGlass. We are an innovative company, dedicating in the research and development of new products for many years.
