GMIC Glass Facts

Overview

The GMIC has been submitting a column to the American Ceramics Society's "Ceramic Bulletin" on a regular basis for a number of years. These columns have described developments in or challenges to the U.S. glass industry that GMIC members and committees have been or are involved with. We invite you to review columns of interest and to pass them on to others in your company that might find them of interest.

As this is an ongoing process, we'd welcome your suggestions for future columns that we could submit. If you have some information you would like to disseminate to the glass industry, please contact Robert Weisenberger Lipetz, MBA Executive Director at GMIC, by email rwlipetz@gmic.org with your suggestions and a joint submission with your "byline" could be published.
