Glass is eternal and transparent. For 50 years, our vision has been too.
Fifty years mark the beginning of a new phase of growth, because for Forel, innovation has never been an extraordinary event, but a daily habit continued since 1976.
In 2026, we will celebrate this journey with Forel Week: a week designed to retrace our history, meet the people who are part of it, and share the vision that will guide our future. A moment of open dialogue in which customers, partners, collaborators, and the local community can experience firsthand what we have become and what we are building together.
Milestones of our journey
Since 1976, Forel has been developing solutions that have helped transform flat glass processing. A story of research, understanding and industrial growth.
From the first machine designed in the 70s to today’s automated technology, this is the story of fifty years of technical evolution and entrepreneurial vision.
Machinery, automation, research and development: Forel machinery is designed to improve quality, efficiency, performance and reliability in flat glass production processes.
A connection with the local area
Forel grows together with the territory in which it was founded, supporting social initiatives, cultural projects, and collaborations with the local industrial supply chain.
Fifty years of evolution
From the earliest visions to today’s technology: the moments, people, and innovations that shape the Forel story.
A SPARK THAT IGNITES THE FUTURE
“Everything starts with an idea. Observing glass, imagining something that does not yet exist, and finding a way to make it real.”
