GMP&A: What about growth?
How many people work for your
company?
VPInstruments: We have about

the glass sector but also in other
manufacturing sectors too. Our
sensors are – and will be used
more and more to monitor the
compressed air systems in these

We are also looking into the use
of vacuum in the glass industry,
working with auditors to see what
we can do.
We hope to have something
certain to say and show in 2019
about vacuum.
