Background

Glass International was founded in 1978 with the stated mission of fostering the exchange of technical knowledge across the international glassmaking community. For most of its history it operated as a print magazine; it is now published by Quartz Business Media Ltd, a UK private company incorporated in May 2009 that manages a portfolio of trade journals, yearbooks, market reports, and live events across several industrial sectors. The magazine publishes ten English-language issues per year, supplemented by two Chinese-language issues and one Russian-language issue annually, reflecting the global reach of the glass industry. Each issue reaches an audited circulation of roughly 5,500 copies distributed to glass manufacturers, equipment suppliers, research institutions, and industry consultants worldwide. Glass International serves as the official media partner for the Glassman trade events. Its editorial brief centers on manufacturing practice, technical innovation, sustainability, and economic trends within the industry—topics with no direct political valence. No significant editorial controversies or ownership scandals have been publicly documented.
