Glassman Asia 2027: glass manufacturing in Bangkok
17–18 March 2027
Bangkok International Trade & Exhibition Centre (BITEC), Bhiraj Halls 1 + 2, Bangkok, Thailand
Glassman Asia is a specialist trade exhibition for the hollow and container glass manufacturing sector. Organised by Quartz Business Media, it brings together production professionals, technology suppliers and decision-makers to examine equipment, materials and developments in glassmaking.
Why Glassman Asia matters
Explore production technology
The organiser presents advanced technologies, machinery and materials for the glass industry. Visitors can use the exhibition to assess solutions relevant to production, engineering, maintenance, quality and procurement.
Compare approaches and exchange expertise
Glassman Asia promotes expert-led presentations and a collaborative setting for discussing industry challenges. These activities give attendees ways to compare technical ideas alongside product displays; details of the 2027 presentation programme are not yet published on the official page.
Who should visit Glassman Asia?
Plant and production managers
Focus on equipment and processes that support plant performance. Prepare questions about furnace and batch operations, production requirements, maintenance and integration with existing lines.
Engineering, maintenance and quality professionals
Compare machinery and inspection approaches, and note the operating conditions, service needs and quality measures that matter in your facility. Official visitor guidance specifically names maintenance engineers, furnace and batch managers, cold-end and palletising managers, and inspection executives.
R&D, procurement and business leaders
R&D teams can review technologies and materials relevant to glassmaking. Procurement teams may compare suppliers and technical capabilities, while executives and sales professionals can use conversations to explore potential collaborations and market priorities.

The official event page describes a product showcase and presentations, but does not yet provide a detailed exhibitor catalogue or 2027 session schedule.
How to prepare for Glassman Asia
- Set a production objective. Identify a process issue, equipment requirement or quality question you want to investigate.
- Prioritise your comparisons. Separate essential suppliers and technologies from useful alternatives and exploratory leads.
- Bring technical questions. Note specifications, production conditions, inspection requirements, maintenance expectations and integration constraints relevant to your plant.
- Plan to follow up. Record the product, its relevance to your operation, the contact and the next technical or commercial question.
Make the most of the exhibition
Use each conversation to establish whether a solution fits your process rather than collecting product brochures without context. Ask suppliers about operating requirements, service arrangements, compatibility and the evidence they can provide for performance claims. Attendees interested in presentations should check the organiser’s updates as the 2027 programme is released.
Getting to BITEC
Glassman Asia takes place at BITEC in Bangna, Bangkok. The organiser’s venue information gives the address as 88 Debaratna Road (km. 1), Bangna Tai, Bangna, Bangkok 10260, Thailand. It states that the centre is 160 metres from BTS Bangna station and 14 kilometres from Suvarnabhumi International Airport. Confirm current access arrangements before travelling.
After Glassman Asia
Sort contacts by immediate technical relevance, potential future fit and general market information. Follow up with focused requests for equipment specifications, operating data, service details, compatibility information or quotations, as appropriate. Compare responses against the requirements you recorded before the event.
Who should consider exhibiting?
Glassman Asia is relevant to manufacturers and suppliers of glass-production machinery, furnace and batch technology, inspection and quality-control systems, cold-end handling and palletising equipment, and glassmaking materials. The organiser says exhibition and sponsorship opportunities are available. Companies considering a stand can define the technical audience they need to reach and the product or business objective they want to test.
Is Glassman Asia worth visiting?
The event is most relevant to professionals working in hollow and container glass production, plant engineering, maintenance, inspection, R&D and procurement. Its value depends on matching the exhibits and presentations to a defined operational or sourcing question. A short list of requirements and suppliers can make comparisons more useful.

Glass manufacturing opportunities in Thailand
Market size and demand
Mordor Intelligence estimates Thailand’s container-glass market at 3.95 million tonnes in 2025. The same report estimates 4.12 million tonnes for 2026 and forecasts 5.09 million tonnes by 2031, a forecast-period CAGR of 4.30%. These are proprietary analyst estimates, not official government production figures.
Market drivers and possible areas to investigate
The report identifies beverage consumption linked to tourism and premiumisation in beverage and cosmetics packaging among its demand drivers. It segments the market across beverages, food, cosmetics and personal care, pharmaceuticals, and perfumery. These findings may help exhibitors and buyers frame questions about container formats, production equipment, materials and quality inspection, but the estimates do not establish a supply gap, buyer access or likely commercial returns.
What this may mean for exhibitors and visitors
Equipment and materials suppliers could use the event to test the relevance of their solutions to container-glass applications and identify what local technical requirements to investigate. Visitors may compare production and inspection systems against their own operating needs. The research reviewed did not establish current industry-specific certification or market-entry rules, so participants should verify those independently before making commercial decisions.
Discover Bangkok
Bangkok is both the host city and the venue location: BITEC is in the Bangna area of Bangkok. The Tourism Authority of Thailand’s Bangkok destination listing highlights several city attractions, including:
- The Grand Palace
- Wat Arun
- Museum Siam
Visitors can set aside time around the exhibition to explore these cultural sites, checking current visitor information before making plans.
