The German pavilion at the Shanghai expo has special-purpose glass products and lighting technology thanks to SCHOTT, an international technology group with a core mission of creating products that make lasting improvements in living and working conditions.

Professor Udo Ungeheuer, chairman of the Board of Management of SCHOTT AG, met with Chinese and German journalists at the Expo on the third day of the event to present the SCHOTT products that are being used in the German pavilion. There is more than 1,000 sq m of architectural glass, several hundred lighting elements, 9,000 LEDs that float inside special glass, a 383-sq m building-integrated solar facade made of "Asi Thru" modules from SCHOTT Solar, exhibits devoted to the glass-ceramics "Ceran" and "Zerodur" and exhibition partnerships in the area of Concentrated Solar Power and photovoltaics.

"The Expo is fascinating and I am very impressed with the German pavilion and how our products are being put to use here. The architects and exhibition partners have succeeded in creating a masterpiece and we are very proud of the contribution that SCHOTT has made towards it," professor Ungeheuer said.
