Feedback

"The co-location of one of the world's largest glass trade shows, Mir Stekla 2019, with RosBuild 2019 and other related events can become a successful tool for closer cooperation of architects, designers, engineers, builders and developers with manufacturers of building materials, Russian federal and regional authorities for promotion of new Russian developments in the domestic market. It will also help to boost the development of the housing construction in Russia."
