FOREL: A VITRUM 2021 EXCEEDS EXPECTATIONS

An experience beyond expectations: this is the balance of the participation of Forel at Vitrum 2021, the first major European event of the yearicato the glass sector.

The turnout was important, but above all qualitativeicata and international: a good opportunity to meet your customers, showcase the excellence and innovations of your range, carry forward ongoing negotiations, open new projects and, in general, survey the state of the market. However, given the complex period we are leaving behind, participating in Vitrum had an additional value: those who chose to exhibit at the fair gave a concrete and notable signal of stability and positivity both to customers and to other manufacturers and operators in the sector .

During this edition of Vitrum there were also two special satisfactions for Forel.

First of all, having received the prize in the “Vitrum – Invite & Win” competition for the best large stand: Forel in fact it participated in the event not only with one of the largest areas (over 1.100 square metres) but above all with the "richest" stand in terms of technologies on display. A sorting system, a complete line for the assembly of double glazing with both rigid and thermoplastic profiles, a vertical processing lineicale of the edge (grinding machine + drill cutter): during the four days of the fair at the stand Forel a complete, fully automated glass factory was operational.

2021 then coincided with the 45th anniversary of the company's foundation. Forel wanted to celebrate its "birthday" with a moment of celebration open to all those present, customers, suppliers, collaborators, institutions and other exhibitors. The entire Board of Directors was present at this meeting Forel.

"45 years of activity is not a few” commented Mr. Fortunato "Where we arrived? The answer is the customers themselves, who use our machines all over the world. This edition of Vitrum 2021, however, is not one of the most attended fairs by manufacturers, and I am sorry about this. Our own trade association, Gimav, had asked all members to commit to the success of this event: an appeal to which Forel responded by bringing the best of its range and its innovations, while others instead canceled their participation. We hope that our example will be a stimulus for everyone, in view of the next edition. In the meantime, I want to celebrate the 45th anniversary of Forel with everyone present and, in thought, also with the companies that have chosen not to be here with us. Thank you. And we always continue to believe in the future"
