PGC International to Present at glasstec
The Protective Glazing Council (PGC) International announced its upcoming presentation at glasstec, an international trade show and group of educational seminars, to be held October 21-25 in Düsseldorf, Germany. Raj Goyal of Architectural Testing, Inc. will be presenting “Protective Glazing for Blast Loads and Other Disasters” on October 21st during the opening day of the event. Representing PGC International, the presentation will be the organization’s first offering internationally.

“The Protective Glazing Council became PGC International in early 2008, and this event marks the beginning of our effort to reach across the borders of the United States and embrace a more global approach to protective glazing technologies,” said Brian Pitman, Director of Marketing and Communications. “By presenting on mostly American technologies in Europe, we hope to offer potential members beneficial information as an incentive to join the organization as we begin to offer services beyond any national borders.”

The presentation will focus on various technologies and strategies for building envelope protection. These include laminated glazing applications, applied film and other technologies. Goyal will also cover various standards in effect in the United States, and offer information about PGC International and its efforts.

Goyal’s presentation takes place from 3:00 – 4:00 p.m. in Room 6, CCD South of the event. This year’s glasstec, which occurs biannually, is expected to draw more than 50,000 attendees from dozens of countries across the globe.
