Hall C is dedicated to building materials and systems. Here you will find the Building Materials Stage and nation stands, but also this year’s novelty; the Glass Stage. Nordbygg’s collaboration with the Glass Industry Association has resulted in an interesting stage program and more exhibitors than before in glass.
The program on the Glass Stage will be filled in gradually, but the stage program has several very interesting program items ready. Here, architects and builders will be given an overview of the position of glass right now and in our properties in the future, both in terms of new buildings and renovation.
The seminars are held daily at stand C10:41 at the following times:
