AWFS Fair has announced the launch of a new international trade platform dedicated to the glass, window, façade, and container glass industries, debuting alongside AWFS Fair 2027 from July 13–15, 2027, in Las Vegas, Nevada.
GlassWind America 2027 will bring together global manufacturers, technology suppliers, processors, architects, fabricators, and industry professionals under one dynamic platform focused on business development, innovation, and international market expansion throughout North America.
Designed as a comprehensive B2B marketplace, GlassWind America will showcase the complete supply chain across flat glass, container glass, window, door, façade, and related industrial sectors.
The event will create new opportunities for companies seeking to strengthen their presence in the North American market while connecting with key buyers, decision-makers, and industry leaders from around the world.
The event aims to create stronger business connections between North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, while providing direct access to buyers, distributors, manufacturers, and project developers active throughout the region.
“GlassWind America represents an exciting expansion for AWFS Fair and a strategic opportunity to bring together industries that are becoming increasingly interconnected through technology, manufacturing, materials, and design,” said Bob Brown, AWFS president and Executive Vice President of Royal Plywood Co.
By creating a dedicated international platform focused on the glass and façade industries, we are opening new doors for collaboration, innovation, and business growth throughout North America.
GlassWind America is designed to become a strategic meeting point for:
• Flat glass manufacturers and processors
• Container glass producers
• Glass machinery and automation suppliers
• Furnace and refractory companies
• Window and door system suppliers
• Façade and architectural solution providers
• Hardware and accessories manufacturers
• Raw material and recycling companies
• Packaging and bottle manufacturing industries
Las Vegas was selected as the host city due to its international accessibility, world-class exhibition infrastructure, and strong appeal for international business events. The city also offers excellent connectivity for visitors and exhibitors traveling from across the Americas and overseas markets, making it an ideal destination for a globally focused industry platform.
In addition to the exhibition, GlassWind America 2027 will feature:
• Industry conferences and technical seminars
• Networking events and business matchmaking
• Market insight presentations
• Product and technology showcases
• International delegation programs
The launch of GlassWind America reflects the growing demand for a new independent platform dedicated to the future of the glass and window industries in North America. Co-locating the event with AWFS Fair 2027 will provide attendees and exhibitors with enhanced cross-industry exposure and access to a broader manufacturing and technology audience.
Additional details regarding exhibitor participation, sponsorship opportunities, educational programming, and attendee registration will be announced in the coming months.
AWFS Fair is organizing GlassWind America 2027 in conjunction with YT International Enterprise Inc., combining international industry expertise and market reach to create a premier global business platform for the glass, window, and façade industries.
