Furnace Solutions/ Conference Announced

FURNACE SOLUTIONS 7 sponsored by the Society of Glass Technology

Furnace Solutions 7 will be held on Thursday 14th June 2012.

The Furnace Solutions conferences have now become a regular fixture in the glassmaking calendar.

Last year’s sell out meeting hosted almost 100 participants – one third of whom were from outside the UK - reflecting the increasing international interest in this unique event. The annual Furnace Solutions conferences deal entirely with ‘practical’ glassmaking issues and are targeted at glassmakers, furnace equipment and specialist materials suppliers. The conference’s informal format allows delegates to share their experiences, and discuss solutions to some of today’s glass melting challenges.
