A key GIMAV contingent will participate in GlassBuild America

Exports to North America for the entire sector – both Flat and Hollow Glass – showed a remarkable growth trend, up more than 45%, with 10.75% of that attributable to the United States, making it the #1 customer of Italian manufacturers.
