Parts2clean switches to biennial event dates
From now on, Parts2clean will be held every two years in the odd-numbered calendar years and will therefore take place again in 2025. This was decided by the organizers, Deutsche Messe AG in Hanover, together with the trade association Fachverband industrielle Teilereinigung e. V. (FiT), the trade fair advisory board and the exhibiting companies.
"We have already discussed the decision to switch Parts2clean to a two-year cycle very intensively with the exhibiting companies and our partners," says Christoph Nowak, Project Manager of Parts2clean at Deutsche Messe. "Following the positive outcome of the trade fair in 2023, our aim is to drive forward the expansion of the leading trade fair character of Parts2clean and thus strengthen the trade fair as a brand in the long term," adds Nowak. The next edition of the leading international trade fair for industrial parts and surface cleaning is scheduled for October 7 to 9, 2025 at the Stuttgart Exhibition Centre. Nowak: "We are organizing the event for the industry and together with the industry. The biennial cycle, which will apply with immediate effect, pays off, because the companies confirmed to us in an exhibitor survey during Parts2clean 2023 that both the two-year innovation cycle and the changed travel behavior of visitors require this new orientation." Gerhard Koblenzer (Managing Director/CEO LPW Reinigungssysteme GmbH) adds: "For our company, Parts2clean is and remains the leading German trade fair for industrial parts cleaning and technical cleanliness in production environments. We very much welcome Deutsche Messe AG's decision to change the rotation. It gives us the opportunity to be present at other international trade fairs on an alternating basis in order to do justice to the rapidly changing markets. It also gives us the time to actively support the activities of the p2c organizers in expanding their offerings. We are looking forward to 2025!"
Parts2clean has developed very positively since the coronavirus pandemic and has grown every year in terms of exhibitors, exhibition space and visitors. 2023 was the strongest post-pandemic edition to date with more than 150 exhibitors on 4,500 square meters and more than 3,000 visitors. The special thing about Parts2clean is the high density of global market and technology leaders from the various areas of industrial cleaning technology. They are all united by the goal of maintaining the trade fair's high level of quality. Christoph Nowak: "We are convinced that the biennial cycle will strengthen Parts2clean in the long term and maintain its high level of quality. Now is the right time to set a new course, because we are leading Parts2clean into a new future with the tailwind of three very good events." The German Industrial Parts Cleaning Association (FiT) is a big supporter of the new Parts2clean cycle: "Our members need Parts2clean as a strong leading trade fair with all suppliers as exhibitors and with numerous visitors from many sectors. The change to a two-year cycle is a response to changing travel and business habits. This will strengthen the trade fair as a meeting place for the parts cleaning industry for all relevant topics and innovations," says Dr. Michael Flämmich, member of the FiT Board, confirming the decision. The decision to realign Parts2clean is also welcomed by the exhibitors. Ulrike Kunz, spokesperson for the Parts2clean exhibitor advisory board and Head of Technical Center at SurTec Deutschland GmbH, adds: "From the point of view of both the exhibitor advisory board and SurTec, Parts2clean is the leading trade fair for everything to do with parts cleaning. This is unique and cannot be found at any other trade fair. We welcome the change of the exhibition rhythm to every two years, which will further strengthen the status of Parts2clean as the leading trade fair, as it will present itself even more innovatively. In future, all market players will be taking part again in step, as in previous years one company has been absent from time to time. And that is important for visitors." Rainer Straub, Vice President Sales & Service and Member of the Management Board of Ecoclean GmbH, also emphasizes: "Our global positioning requires flexible country and industry-specific marketing and trade fair strategies. In order to meet these requirements, we at Ecoclean welcome the new 2-year cycle. Whether for customers in general industry, the automotive, medical or semiconductor industries - Parts2clean is the leading trade fair where we present our innovations and new developments to the industry for the first time."
