In its presentation, Pneumofore demonstrated how innovative air compressors and vacuum pumps strongly contribute to the conservation of resources within hollow glass manufacturing. By highlighting the significant energy efficiencies and lower environmental impact of their systems, Pneumofore reinforced its commitment to supporting a more sustainable glass industry. Following the success of this year’s event, anticipation is already building for Glasstec’s next edition, set for October 20-23, 2026, in Düsseldorf.

As a trusted supplier of cutting-edge vacuum and compressed air solutions for the hollow glass industry and leveraging on its strong presence in Asia, Pneumofore attended the 33rd China Glass Expo, held in Shanghai from April 25 to 28. This annual event is dedicated on the entire industrial chain of glassmaking within the Chinese glass market, offering a great platform for showcasing innovative technologies and enhancing new business collaborations.
With its constant focus on enhancing efficiency and sustainability, Pneumofore’s solutions garnered significant attention among the industry professionals attending the event. With the collaboration of its local partner, Ninesun, Pneumofore confirms its dedication to providing localized support and solutions to meet the unique needs of the glass manufacturing sector across China.

Pneumofore featured among the keynote speakers at Latamcan, the technical conference and exhibition for canmakers and suppliers operating in Central and South America and one of the most important meeting points for the metal packaging sector.
After the recurring successes in Brazil and Mexico, in 2024 the event stopped for the first time in Buenos Aires, Argentina, with a record-breaking number of attendees, canmakers and suppliers operating within the LATAM can industry.
Leveraging on the company’s 100 years of expertise, Mr. Rolf Hilfiker, CEO of Pneumofore, held a technical speech focused on compressor efficiency in 2-pc can production. Mr. Hilfiker highlighted the available strategies and customized solutions for minimizing energy waste and achieving maximum cost savings and higher sustainability.
Pneumofore’s participation at the event underscored the company’s focus on the Latin American market, where its presence is constantly expanding and it is supported by a committed local distributor network, like 7Ogun who attended the event. With a strong focus on innovation and sustainability, Pneumofore continues to drive efficiency and excellence, strengthening its position as a preferred partner for the global metal packaging industry

Pneumofore showcased its commitment to pioneering sustainable vacuum and compressed air solutions for can production at CanTech The Grand Tour, held this year in Mumbai, India. At each edition, this leading conference and tabletop exhibition gathers together key decision makers, technical experts and global suppliers, maximizing the networking opportunities and providing attendees with access to the latest and most efficient production technologies.
Eng. Daniel Hilfiker, President of Pneumofore, featured among the keynote speakers during the technical conference with a presentation that highlighted the company’s vision for sustainable can production. With a strong focus on environmental responsibility and energy efficiency, the presentation gave an in-depth overview of Pneumofore’s pioneering Rotary Vane technology and the strategies aimed at minimizing the Total Cost of Ownership and
environmental impact of pneumatic equipment in canmaking. Leveraging on 100 years of technical expertise, Pneumofore reaffirmed its unwavering commitment to driving positive change in the can industry.

Hannover Messe 2023, the world’s premier trade show for the global industry and technical innovations, offered a perfect opportunity to begin the celebrations of Pneumofore 100 Year Anniversary: a goal that no other company in the vacuum and compressed air market can match.
Within the ComVac show, the fair’s main hub for vacuum and compressed air technologies, Pneumofore Rotary Vane solutions and new technical developments had central stage, demonstrating how the company’s centenary experience is a moving force toward constant evolution and reliable solutions for the industry’s most important challenges, including climate protection, energy-saving solutions and sustainability goals.
The company was present with a newly designed booth and, for the first time, it displayed the K2.60 Gas Booster Compressor.
Spotlights were also on the state-of-the-art UV Series Rotary Vane vacuum pumps, represented by the UV24 VS37 unit with Variable Speed drive for the optimal coverage of the vacuum needs with the lowest electrical power consumption.
Pneumofore Rotary Vane units’ constant performance and low Life Cycle Cost are proved on a daily basis and running trouble-free since decades in many industries worldwide, even in harsh or hot climate conditions. With constant focus on innovation and energy saving solutions, Pneumofore is inspiring the future since 1923.

The A400 air compressors shown in the picture have been running continuously for three years. Operating in harsh conditions, with ambient temperatures ranging from -10 °C in winter to +40 °C during the summer, these air-cooled machines were merely paused for maintenance purposes. The initial 23.000 hours of operation represent only the end of the break-in for these compressors. Their Rotary Vane Air-End, which is the core of Pneumofore technology, is built to last and run smoothly with top efficiency for decades. The units’ reliability is the foundation to achieve extraordinary results, but it is not sufficient alone: required is a proper state-of-art installation which is simplified by following the system engineering support included in every Pneumofore solution. We are proud to have surpassed the customer’s expectations and look forward to additional orders for installations in rough climate conditions.

Industry advancements and innovations in the glass industry took center stage at Glasstec 2018, the world’s leading tradeshow for equipment and services for glass production. The event, that celebrated its 25th anniversary, welcomed in four days about 42,000 visitors from all over the world, with an increased attendance trend compared to the previous edition. As a leading supplier of centralized vacuum and compressed air systems and a traditional exhibitor at Glasstec, Pneumofore presented itself with a new booth concept, designed to highlight the benefits of the company’s Rotary Vane technology and tailored solutions for the glass industry. Spotlights were on the UV50 vacuum pump – here presented in its Variable Speed version – which raised great interest from visitors. This unit is one of the most popular vacuum pump in worldwide glassworks, appreciated for its constant performance over time and high energy savings on the long-run. The response from the fair has been consistently positive, with high-level conversations with both new and consolidated customers, which make us looking very positively into 2019.
