The week ahead features the largest glass show in the world
with the opening of glasstec in Germany.
This is the show that happens every other year and it will be
interesting to see if the show continues the very positive trade show trend
that has been in play throughout 2012.
What we have seen in last several months is that the hunger for
information and networking that the trade show scene brings is strong, so it
leads me to believe we do have some encouraging steps taking place in our
world.
Elsewhere…
-- After several weeks of very newsworthy items, this was a
slow one… so this post will be shorter than normal.
-- Question for the readers, a glazing contractor I know has a
ton of really old, hard to find, and interesting glass on their floor. Everything from old obscures and decorative
to products like “Greylite 56” and “Houze Lo-Tran” – So is there anyone out
there for this group to connect with to see if any of this glass could find a
good home? It’s all in very good shape. Thank you in advance for any insight.
-- Some moves in our world this past week with a pretty big
deal this week with PPG buying Spraylat and Grey Mountain’s Consolidated Glass
Holdings picking up the assets of North American Specialty Glass. Overall, still a very active world for deals
and my guess is you may see a bunch in the 1st quarter of 2013
because there are lots of buyers and many sellers tired of fighting the
battles…
-- Last this week, Wednesday starts the World Series… can’t
wait for the games to come to Detroit and see the players bundled up to play in
30 degree weather. Really time to either
start the season earlier or cut it down to 154 games…
LINKS of the WEEK
-- Hey it’s late October, TIME FOR CHRISTMAS! Yeesh the Christmas “creep” continues.

-- A very cool post here on the slang from the 1920’s…
