Glassman Europe 2025: Energy-Efficient Glass Manufacturing

Energy efficiency and sustainable glass manufacturing were at the heart of Pneumofore’s presence at Glassman Europe 2025, the international technical conference and exhibition dedicated to the glass industry. Held in Istanbul (Turkey), the event brought together global experts, hollow glass and glass containers manufacturers and suppliers operating in the sector.

As a trusted global partner for glass manufacturing, Pneumofore showcased its energy-efficient vacuum and compressed air solutions. Renowned for their constant performance over time – even in hot climates and remote locations – Pneumofore’s water-saving, air-cooled Rotary Vane systems are recognized for their major operational advantages.

A highlight of the event was the technical conference, where Eng. Daniel Hilfiker, President of Pneumofore, delivered a keynote titled “Pressure and Vacuum for IS Machines.” The talk highlighted how selecting the right vacuum systems and compressors directly impacts and improves efficiency, sustainability, and energy savings in glass container manufacturing.

With its strategic location bridging Europe, Middle East, Africa and Asia, Istanbul served as the perfect hub for meeting global glass industry professionals. Pneumofore is expanding its footprint in these regions as demand grows for energy-efficient pneumatic solutions. With numerous installations already operating under extreme ambient conditions, Pneumofore’s air-cooled Rotary Vane systems set the benchmark for glassmakers seeking reliable, trouble-free machines. Engineered for long-term efficiency with low energy consumption and reduced CO₂ emissions, Pneumofore’s vacuum pumps and compressors deliver the lowest Total Cost of Ownership for high-demand industrial environments such as the glass industry.
