Glass International / GlassOnline
UK/Italian B2B industry trade, no political orientation
Background
Glass International was founded in 1978 and has been published by Quartz Business Media Ltd, a UK-based B2B media company based in Redhill, Surrey. Quartz publishes the magazine 10 times per year in English and also produces Spanish, Chinese, and Russian language editions; it separately organizes the global Glassman trade events, for which Glass International serves as the official media partner. The magazine covers container, hollow, flat, and specialty glass manufacturing and targets production, technical, and research professionals worldwide. GlassOnline (glassonline.com) is an unrelated Italian operation run by A151 S.r.l., based near Milan; A151's print arm, Glass Technology International, launched in 1990 as a flat-glass industry magazine, and the GlassOnline website followed in 1996 and has accumulated more than 24,000 news and archive articles freely available to readers. A151 also publishes Glass Machinery Plants & Accessories (launched 1990) and an annual Glass Industry Directory. Both outlets are advertiser-supported trade publications aimed at industry insiders — plant managers, technical directors, procurement buyers — and neither carries a political editorial line. Coverage of U.S. tariff actions under the second Trump administration appears in both outlets as straightforward market and cost analysis, with no advocacy for or against the policies.
