Groglass® keeps supporting young and talented artists – this time the photographer Andris Taskans (www.taskans.net).
The photo exhibition GAISMA (LIGHT) is taking place in restaurant GUSTO (https://www.facebook.com/gusto.lv) starting from the 1st of October 2015 till the 2nd of January 2016.
The author of the photo exhibition invites visitors to travel to three different countries – Cuba, Portugal, Montenegro to see that also in sunny countries it is raining, the sky is grey and cloudy, but afterwards it`s again sunny and the light comes back.
The photos are framed in anti-reflective Artglass™ by Groglass® and the photographer comments: “I made my exhibition in the venue, which is spacious and rich with natural daylight. It is very pleasant for people, but burdensome for photographers, because usual photo-frame glass creates reflections and distracts viewer from catching all the nuances of the work. Therefore I’m very grateful to Groglass® for openness and participation in my project, with contribution of Artglass™ anti-reflective glass for my photographies. Now everyone, who provides feedback for my artworks, is also positively surprised about the added visual value, which is created by Artglass™.”

Gulf Glass 2015, the region’s leading international glass exhibition, was held from 14th – 16th of September, at the World Trade Centre in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

This was the first time, when Groglass® team participated in the exhibition and successfully presented our innovative products:

• Artglass™ – highest quality anti-reflective glass that is used for the most prestigious architectural and museum design solutions by glass processors and architects worldwide.
• Sapphire SEMI-TRANSPARENT MIRROR – the high reflective glass, which can transform from being a regular mirror into a fully functional electronic display.
• Artglass AR PROTECT™ – the antireflective glass with printing on it as well as other highest performance glass products.

Participation in Gulf Glass 2015 was an amazing experience – these were three valuable days with a lot of meetings, much interest from exhibition visitors, architects, constructors, processors from all over the world and great start point for new cooperations.
Thank you for visiting Groglass® booth! We wish you success and hope to see you soon again!

We would like to thank also Investment and Development Agency of Latvia for financial support and cooperation provided for participation at Gulf Glass 2015!

Groglass® has been named as a National Champion for Latvia in The European Business Awards sponsored by RSM; a prestigious competition supported by businesses leaders, academics, media and political representatives from across Europe.

The European Business Awards now in its 9th year engaged with over 32,000 business from 33 European countries this year and 678 companies from across Europe have been named today as National Champions; going through to the second phase of the competition.

Sasha Kelberg , CEO of Groglass® says: “We’re very proud to be selected to represent Latvia as a National Champion. The European Business Awards is widely recognised as the showcase for Europe’s most dynamic companies and we are now looking forward to the next round of the judging process where we can explain in more depth how we are achieving business success.”

Adrian Tripp, CEO of the European Business Awards said: “Congratulations to Groglass® and all the companies that have been selected to represent their country as National Champions, they play an important part in creating a stronger business community.”

The next round requires the National Champions to make a presentation video, telling their unique story and explaining their business success. The judges will view all of the National Champions’ videos, and award the best of this group the coveted ‘Ruban d’Honneur’ status. Ruban d’Honneur recipients will then go on to be part of the grand final in 2016.

Separately, the National Champion videos will be made public on the European Business Awards website www.businessawardseurope.com as part of a two stage public vote, which will decide the ‘National Public Champions’ for each country. Last year over 170,000 votes were cast as companies from across Europe were publicly supported by their clients, staff and peers, as well as the general public.

Supported since their inception by lead sponsor and promoter RSM, the seventh largest audit, tax and advisory network worldwide with a major presence across Europe, the European Business Awards was up to support the development of a stronger and more successful business community throughout Europe.

In the 2014/15 competition, all EU member markets were represented plus Turkey, Norway, Switzerland, Serbia, Croatia and the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Their combined revenue exceeded €1.5 trillion, and together they generated profits of over 60 billion Euros and employ over 2.5 million people.
