Updated worldwide glass market study 2024 available now for flat, container glass and tableware

We have updated our international studies on flat glass, container glass and tableware for 2024.

This unique software provides a global overview about glass producers and technical details. Easy to use and clear tables summarize information and data about glass makers such as: Glass types: flat glass, container glass, tableware, production capacities in regions and countries, number of furnaces, furnace types, year of construction, glass types and sub-types, products, project information, special news and downloads.

Further databases supplying demoscopic data and import and export data complete the market survey. Based on these data, prepare individual country profiles with information about local production capacities, local market sizes and expected demand in the future.

Laser glass drilling

Laser glass cutting based on nonlinear absorption of intensive laser. If a laser beam with extremely high peak power is tightly focused into glass, very high intensity is achieved in the focal spot, exceeding the threshold intensity for nonlinear absorption. In the focus region the deposited laser energy results in local extremely high temperatur and pressure. If the focus is on the surface the deposited energy leads to ablation of glass material. By point-by-point ablation glass is cut. With a moving table holes of any shape can be generated in glass.

Laser glass marking
Marking inside of glass based on nonlinear absorption of intensive laser. If a laser beam with extremely high peak power is tightly focused into glass, very high intensity is achieved in the focal spot, exceeding the threshold intensity for nonlinear absorption. In the focus region the deposited laser energy results in local extremely high temperatur and pressure. This leads in turn to micro cracks inside of glass. The cracks scatters light. By point-by-point generation of cracks 3d-pictures or permanent marking can be generated inside of glass.
