<strong>GPD</strong> - an ACE for Challenging Times<br />
The <strong>GPD</strong> has been successfully arranged for a number of years and can well be<br />
called a tradition. But it is much more than that. Over <strong>the</strong> years we have inspired <strong>the</strong><br />
interest groups of <strong>the</strong> <strong>glass</strong> <strong>industry</strong> to perform better and more ef<strong>fi</strong>ciently primarily by<br />
exchanging information & technologies and expanding <strong>the</strong> horizons of <strong>the</strong> <strong>industry</strong>.<br />
<strong>We</strong> have done this toge<strong>the</strong>r and have seen amazing dimensions of what <strong>glass</strong> can<br />
do – in energy economy, in solar applications and many o<strong>the</strong>r aspects. <strong>We</strong> have<br />
also seen <strong>the</strong> importance of providing <strong>the</strong> <strong>GPD</strong> as a source of inspiration and an<br />
ace for tough times. It is important not to duck when times <strong>are</strong> tough but to look<br />
forward and invite better times by positive action.<br />
Doing this cost-effectively is <strong>the</strong> special Ace of <strong>the</strong> <strong>GPD</strong> itself. Your trump card for<br />
challenging times.<br />
