“Power of China” Shining at Swissbau, NorthGlass Drawing European Attention
From January 20 to 23, 2026, the global construction and building materials event—Swissbau—was held at the Messe Basel Exhibition Center in Switzerland. As one of the most influential trade fairs in Europe, this year’s exhibition brought together approximately 1,100 exhibitors from around the world and over 100,000 industry professionals, showcasing the latest innovations and trends in the sector. As the only Chinese exhibitor at Swissbau 2026, NorthGlass, in collaboration withODAY, presented a range of core innovative products, demonstrating to the world thepowerof Chinese architectural technology and its pursuit of aesthetics.
In Basel, a city renowned for its artistic heritage, NorthGlass unveiled its first customized exhibit—a pure white glazed glass wall. With its clean tone and refined texture, the product echoed the artistic spirit of local architecture. Through continuous process innovation, it achieves both structural stability and artistic expression, attracting numerous European architects and offering new inspiration for facade materials.
Another highlight was the circular spherical and triangular skylight system, jointly developed by NorthGlass and Dormakaba. Featuring ultra-large dimensions, advanced curvature, and wide spans, the system integrates intelligent control, high thermal insulation, and safety performance. It represents a breakthrough in both structural engineering and architectural aesthetics. A local Swiss architect commented, “I have never seen such a stunning application of spherical glass, nor imagined such complex technology could be so perfectly integrated with functionality.”
In the highly competitive field of ultra-slim window and door systems, NorthGlass and ODAYalso showcased an ultra-large curved ultra-slim sliding door. With a 22mm ultra-slim profile combined with high-transparency Low-E glass, the product maintains minimalist aesthetics while delivering excellent thermal insulation, heat resistance, and soundproofing—meeting the high standards of the European market for energy efficiency and design.
As the only Chinese exhibitor at Swissbau 2026, NorthGlass chose Switzerland as a stage to present its innovations, reflecting both confidence in its technological capabilities and a desire to engage with global industry leaders. Looking ahead, NorthGlass will continue to drive technological breakthroughs and design integration, contributing more Chinese wisdom and solutions to the global architectural industry.
