More than 3,000 trade visitors came to the event, the majority of them armed with current tasks and projects as well as a thirst for new information. This resulted in numerous high-quality contacts, new projects and even direct business deals for the more than 150 exhibitors from 14 nations at the event.
Cleanliness is playing an increasingly important role in a growing number of industrial sectors. This conclusion can be drawn after the close of the 20th parts2clean, made clear by the tasks and projects which more than 3,000 visitors brought with them to the Stuttgart Exhibition Centre from 26-28 September.
The share of foreign visitors was 20%, with the strongest attendance coming from Germany, Switzerland, the Czech Republic, Turkey, Austria and the Netherlands.
The highlight theme of “High Purity”, which was added to the core areas of this, the leading international trade fair for industrial parts and surface cleaning, made a major contribution to the substantial increase of around 33% compared to the previous year.
“In this way, we have placed a stronger focus on the range of solutions offered at parts2clean for tasks where the highest cleanliness requirements need to be met,” reported Christoph Nowak, project director at Deutsche Messe, “and we have thus succeeded in attracting more visitors from the affected industries to parts2clean.”
This was confirmed by Dr.-Ing. Günther Schmauz, board member at acp systems AG: “With our high-purity snow blasting cleaning solutions, we were previously more of a niche supplier at parts2clean.
At this year’s event, however, we were able to welcome a large number of trade fair guests from the fields of EUV lithography, including system partners and suppliers, as well as electromobility.
The latter ranges from battery manufacturers and suppliers of components for power dissipation and energy management right through to electric motors. For us, parts2clean 2023 went very well.” Jan Gerbrands, CEO at Netherlands-based Brookhuis Applied Data Intelligence B. V., a manufacturer of products for optimizing cleanroom operations, expressed similar sentiments: “It was a fantastic show for us, as we were able to generate many new contacts.”
And, according to Rainer Straub, Board of Management and VP sales & customer service at Ecoclean GmbH: “Parts2clean was significantly more successful for us this year than in 2022, certainly due to the highlight theme of ‘High Purity’, which is a focal point in our program at Ecoclean. This helped us to attract new visitors.”
A total of over 150 exhibitors from 14 countries presented new, refined and time-tested products as well as services for industrial parts and surface cleaning on around 4,500 square meters of display space.
