Parts2clean switches to a two-year event cycle

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.

New boundary conditions require the biennial cycle

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, as 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 of LPW Reinigungssysteme, 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'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 positively since the coronavirus pandemic. 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 this trade fair 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 Parst2clean 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 from three very good events."

Industry meeting for parts cleaning to be strengthened

The German Industrial Parts Cleaning Association (FiT) is a big supporter of the new Parts2clean rotation: "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 of Directors, confirming the decision.

Trade fair presence in step again

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 Germany, 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. The trade fair offers the unique opportunity to address all topics and to bring together all those involved in a short space of time in order to discuss, for example, the planning of a new cleaning system or problem-solving for existing processes in detail. We are looking forward to 2025."
