Good discussions and exciting topics at parts2clean 2023

At the third event since the end of the Corona lockdown, there was clearly more dynamism than in previous years. The highlight topic High Purity met with a good response and quite a few visitors came with concrete tasks.

The 20th parts2clean came to a close on 28 September under the motto "Cleaning Redefined". More than 150 exhibitors from 14 countries presented products and services along the parts cleaning process chain. The High Purity highlight theme proclaimed by the organiser was well received by visitors and exhibitors alike. According to a survey by the organiser, 70 percent of the visitors would like to see more in-depth coverage of this topic in the future. High Purity also played an important role in numerous lectures at the specialist forum accompanying the fair, for example in the keynote lecture by Dr. Nicole Smits of ASML Netherlands, the world's technologically leading equipment manufacturer for chip production. All in all, the great response of the visitors to the topics of the forum was surprising, especially in comparison to other events; it was consistently well attended and for some lectures, veritable clusters of listeners formed around the event area.

The fact that very detailed discussions about concrete projects were held was due to the above-average proportion of trade visitors (99 percent). About 88% are involved in operational investment decisions, and about 80% visited the trade fair with investment intentions. And these were also directly implemented at parts2clean. In addition, the FiT 2clean Award was presented for the second time. The prize is endowed with 10,000 euros and a one-year free membership in the trade association. The prize was won by Intelligent Fluids GmbH, which is competing with the concept of phase fluids to replace classic solvents in a variety of cleaning applications. Second place went to Sphera Technologie with a solution for controlling technical cleanliness in the micro and nano range. Third place went to Fronius for the development of a hot-active plasma system.
