Every two years, the global glass community heads to Düsseldorf in Germany for the Glasstec Trade Show, and it’s always a highlight in the PSR calendar. This year is no different and from 20–23 October 2026, you’ll find us in Hall 13 on Stand A22.

With over 200 years of engineering and refractory expertise behind us, Glasstec 2026 is the perfect place to how we are continuing to support glass manufacturers around the world. This year we will be showcasing:

• PSR System 500 Forehearth – Our flagship forehearth system has been evolving for more than 35 years, with over 500 installations worldwide. It is designed to deliver stable, efficient and reliable glass conditioning and its proven 35% reduction in fuel consumption sets it apart for glass manufacturers looking to improve energy performance.
• PSR Cord Dispersal System – With 300+ systems installed globally, this is a long-established, guaranteed solution for eliminating cat scratch cord. It is trusted by our customers who want defect free production.
• Industry-leading refractories – Built on two centuries of materials expertise, our refractories are engineered for extended life, stability and confidence in demanding glass contact environments. Manufactured using traditional slip-casting methods, they are designed to perform without compromise.

Throughout the event, the PSR team will be available to talk about our products, for technical discussions and to answer general questions. Joining us at the event this year will be:

• Simon Parkinson – Managing Director
• Les Gaskell – Technical Director
• Tom Foster – Project Sales Manager
• Colin Robinson – Sales Office Manager
• Damian Martin – Sales Engineer
• Julie Farrell – Receptionist

Glasstec is a chance for us to catch-up with customers, agents and familiar faces, and to also make some new connections with people in the industry. Whether you want to talk through a project, explore new ideas, or simply stop by to say hello, our team will be on hand throughout the event.

If you would like to arrange a specific time to meet us at the stand, you can email our sales team at sales@parkinson-refractories.co.uk.

We hope to see you in Düsseldorf.
