The Glassman Conference is the key meeting point for the global hollow and container glass manufacturing industry, offering an important platform for networking, technical innovation, and industry insights. The 2026 edition, taking place in Mexico City, will bring together leading glassmakers, suppliers, and technology providers from across the Americas and beyond. As demand for energy-efficient and reliable pneumatic systems continues to grow in the region, the event represents a strategic opportunity to strengthen Pneumofore’s expanding presence in Latin America and showcase its advanced vacuum and compressed air solutions for hollow glass production.
Pneumofore will participate in METPACK 2026, the world’s leading exhibition for the metal packaging industry, held in Essen, Germany. The event gathers global canmakers and technology suppliers focused on innovation, efficiency, and sustainability in high-speed can production.
At METPACK, Pneumofore will showcase its energy-efficient UV24 VS vacuum pump, designed to deliver consistent performance, reduced energy consumption, and long operating life. With over 100 years of experience, Pneumofore provides engineered pneumatic systems tailored to real operating conditions, ensuring optimal performance and minimized Total Cost of Ownership.
A key highlight of Pneumofore’s participation will be its role as a keynote speaker at the “Talk in a Can” forum, scheduled for May 7 at 10:00 AM. Eng. Daniel Hilfiker, President of Pneumofore, will present “The Hidden 50%”, focusing on how vacuum pumps and compressors dominate energy consumption in can plants and how advanced engineering can significantly improve energy efficiency, reduce CO₂ emissions, and optimize the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).
Visitors are invited to meet Pneumofore at Hall 1, Stand 1C32 to discover how advanced vacuum and compressed air solutions can support sustainable, high-efficiency canmaking.
