Hope everyone had a good holiday week! New podcast for you covering two ends of the spectrum. I’ve got a company that is almost 100 years old, and another that is just getting going. It was very cool stuff.
I have been pretty salty lately regarding the economy, so I guess I need to set aside that negativity to note that the latest indexes did show some signs of life. The Dodge Momentum Index had a nice May, up 13% from April. Also included here is the third interview in the Summer Interview Series.
Students from the University of Michigan Materials Science and Engineering program visited k-Space Associates Inc. to see firsthand how to build automated visual inspection solutions for the glass industry and to test a new kind of tempered glass detection solution.
Over the more than three-decade run of the Top 50 Glaziers list, it has grown from a two-page industry ranking into a full market report that includes information on regional growth, recent and forthcoming trends, as well as insights about new and perennial challenges for contract glaziers, and for the glass industry more broadly.
Whether you're pursuing a new job opportunity, launching a business venture, or looking for new sales leads, your ability to succeed depends on how well you communicate your unique value.
Canada should consider establishing its own float glass production within the next several years due the need to reduce its dependence on the U.S. and ensure stable domestic supplies.
The glass manufacturing industry is undergoing a radical transformation. Automation is no longer a concept of the future—it’s happening now, driven by intelligent software, interconnected machines and a decreasing need for human intervention on the shop floor. As the industry faces ongoing labor shortages and increasing demand for precision and efficiency, the rise of the fully automated plant is redefining how glass is processed, fabricated and delivered.

In today’s fast-paced manufacturing environment, efficiency and accuracy are critical. The flat glass, window and door industries rely on precise processes to ensure materials move seamlessly through production, shipping and all the way to installation. One of the most powerful tools enabling this efficiency is labeling technology.
