Outlet profile

Glass International / GlassOnline

Trade press (glass industry); no political slant

Owned byThese are two separate publications. Glass International is published by Quartz Business Media Ltd, a privately held B2B publisher in Redhill, Surrey, UK. It has no connection to the Quartz news site (qz.com). GlassOnline (glassonline.com) and its magazines are published by A151 S.r.l., a company based in Cormano, near Milan, Italy. I could not verify who owns either parent company.

FundingProbably advertising and sponsorship from glass-industry suppliers, plus magazine subscriptions and trade events. I did not find a funding statement for either outlet, so this is an inference from how B2B trade media usually work. No known state, party or donor funding.

On the administrationmostly neutral

Background

Glass International says it launched in 1978 to help glassmakers around the world share technical knowledge. It is published by Quartz Business Media Ltd of Redhill, Surrey. That company's portfolio spans glass, metals, tobacco, vape, oils and fats, cleaning and hygiene, and fitness. GlassOnline is a different operation: glassonline.com and its magazines, such as Glass Technology International, are published by Italy's A151 S.r.l. The two titles are often grouped together because both serve the same industry. I did not find a documented history of ownership changes, editorial controversies or corrections for either one. Coverage is mostly technical and commercial: furnace and plant news, equipment, company announcements, and market trends. Because it is trade press, much content may come from industry sources and advertisers, so it is more likely to emphasize industry developments than to hold firms to account. I did not review its recent coverage of U.S. policy, so the stance given here is an assumption based on its trade focus, not a measured record.
