According to Fabrício Kameyama , Pilkington ’ s South America Commercial Director , the current trends of the sector are big motivators for growth and creation of new products . “ Glass consumption by the auto manufacturers has been increasing over the past years due to the fact that the glass industry has also grown and the glass itself became a component of differentiation in many aspects ”.
