Industry Relevance

Interclean has been a pioneering trade fair for the world of cleaning and hygiene. The first edition took place back in 1967 at Amsterdam RAI and turned the Netherlands into the headquarters for the professional cleaning community. Editions roll out every two years and bring all the new and exciting products, equipment and machinery. Plus, it’s a great place to meet with existing clients and increase your professional network. The success of the trade fair has led to the expansion of the event into China, where it’s been highly popular. 

What keeps Interclean relevant is the incredible product portfolio. Buyers are able to survey all the latest innovations in healthcare cleaning, high pressure cleaning, steam cleaning, management & mobility solutions, washroom equipment, window cleaning, cleaning equipment & machinery, and detergents. All the leading exhibitors are accounted for. Interclean maintains an in-depth overview of the industry and is the primary procurement platform in Europe. 

We also have to mention the excellent information programme. Visitors are spoiled for choice with three stages for educational sessions, live demonstrations at the outdoor demo area and the thrills of the robot arena. With the pandemic still ongoing, hygiene and disinfecting have been all the more important. That’s why Interclean is needed now more than ever!

Who Are You Going to Meet? 

Interclean maintains a high satisfaction rate among visitors with 91% confirming their interest in returning. The trade fair is particularly popular among distributors, cleaning contractors, building services and contractors, manufacturers of cleaning materials, and the healthcare sector. You get to meet with qualified buyers as 75% of trade visitors are decision markets whether they are CEOs, directors or owners of their operations. Although Interclean is a truly global event, the majority of visitors are based in Europe. The top countries in attendance include Germany, Belgium, France, the UK and Italy. 

Their reason to attend is to find out the next generation of products and solutions on the market with a focus on machinery and equipment. You’ll exhibit side by side with companies such as Vycel, Cartiere Carrara, Probbax.com, Gausium Robotics, British Institute of Cleaning Science, i-team Global, Decitex - Smart Textiles, DENOX, Excel Dryer and Consensus Group.

Additional Value of Attending 

Perhaps the biggest event to take place during the main trade fair is the Healthcare Cleaning Forum, which is one of the biggest of its kind and attracts a wide audience. The forum is useful for infection prevention controllers, hygienists, facility managers, national authorities, hospital management, specialised cleaning service providers, cleaning and hygiene suppliers, procurement officers and microbiologists. The forum unites all related fields and delivers exciting innovations, tackle the most pressing issues and offers solutions to the biggest challenges right now. 

The pandemic has made the topic of environmental cleaning and disinfection a priority since they are the most reliable way to reduce healthcare-associated infections (HAI’s). The forum looks at all components that go into the efficiency of these processes – procedures, training and education, technology and materials. Over the course of one day, you’ll hear top speakers take to the stage and share their insights and expertise. 

The other major event that takes place at Interclean is the Amsterdam Innovation Award. If you’re an innovator in your particular niche, then you should consider entering. Only the most forward-thinking of all exhibitors are able to win this prestigious award, which comes with press coverage and increased interest from buyers. There are twelves nominees in total selected by an international expert jury in the following categories: 

• Sustainability & environment: Hygiene and disinfection come at the price of pollution due to the use of heavy chemicals. This category looks at sustainable products that have made the improvements to reduce waste, use not-as-harsh chemicals and biodegradable resources as ways to decrease the ecological footprint of the product.
• Smart Technologies & Digitalisation: How can robotics, IoT, AI, remote monitoring and automation be incorporated into the industry to improve performance? 
• Workforce & Ergonomics: Here we have the innovations that aim to make the lives of cleaning staff and professionals a lot easier. Safety is a great concern and so is comfort. The category recognises products that increase efficiency and productivity.
• Hygiene & Health: The products and solutions that raise the standards of what it means to be clean.
