The 18th edition of parts2clean is scheduled for 27-29th October, 2020 at the Stuttgart Exhibition Centre.

Hannover, May 2020 – The extraordinary and unpredictable situation caused by the coronavirus presents unprecedented challenges to companies worldwide. Industrial cleaning technology does not seem to play a role here at first. But yet the solutions presented at this year's parts2clean will support companies from the production and remanufacturing sectors in improving their future viability and thus emerge from the crisis stronger. Home office, meetings via video conference, or remote service – the corona crisis has been causing profound changes in many areas of working life worldwide – even where this was previously considered impossible. "The flexibilisation, virtualisation and digitalisation of work processes made necessary by corona is also leading to changes in industrial parts cleaning," says Olaf Daebler, Global Director parts2clean at Deutsche Messe AG. "Many suppliers have been creative in finding solutions in order to eliminate user problems and provide support without having to be on-site".

The pandemic can become an accelerator for the use of new technologies and processes for the changes which were already emerging in many branches and markets before the crisis. Due to its huge impact on quality, functionality and manufacturing costs of products, industrial parts and surface cleaning is also an enabler for optimising manufacturing processes and make them more efficient. Additionally, sufficient parts cleanliness is an essential prerequisite for using innovative manufacturing, joining and coating technologies as well as for implementing new products successfully. "The cross-industry and cross-material offerings at parts2clean make it an ideal information and procurement platform for the manufacturing step component cleaning," says Daebler. The 18th edition of the leading international trade fair for industrial parts and surface cleaning will take place at Stuttgart Exhibition Centre (Germany) from 27 to 29 October 2020.

SurfaceTechnology Germany will be held concurrently to parts2clean this year. The international trade fair covers the entire spectrum of surface technology. "With parts and surface cleaning, parts2clean practically dedicates itself to an important production step upstream of coating", says Daebler. "As a result, there are good synergy effects between the two trade fairs, which are of interest to many visitors." parts2clean and SurfaceTechnology GERMANY will be located in the neighbouring halls 7 and 9 at the Stuttgart Exhibition Centre.
