Glass is a material that can be incredibly captivating provided that you have the creativity to bring forth this quality. The specialists from Gerresheimer Beijing will be demonstrating their mastery of this art with beautiful new shapes, colours and finishing effects at Luxe Pack Shanghai. Gerresheimer's Chinese subsidiary will be presenting high quality glass designs for the Asian perfume and cosmetics industry at the much-acclaimed trade fair in the 'Paris of the East' (March 30-31, 2010).
