ECJ EUROPEAN Cleaning Journal

China Clean Expo (CCE), the professional cleaning exhibition for the Chinese market, attracted 10,000 visitors when it took place in Shanghai last month. This, the organisers say, was the most successful event in the show's 10-year history.

With 250 exhibitors and a total area of 20,000 square metres, there was a 50 per cent increase in the number of visitors from outside China this year.

Organised by UBM Sinoexpo, Wings (Shanghai) Exhibition and Shanghai Indoor Contamination Control Industry Association, CCE 2012 is held in partnership with European organisations EUnited, Afidamp Servizi and VDMA.

Taking place for the first time was the China Clean Summit, designed to raise the profile of the professional cleaning sector among the general public and emphasise its importance to the growth of the country's economy.

And the CCE Innovation Awards were presented at a gala ceremony - there were 10 awards over three categories.

CCE 2013 will take place from April 1-3 2013, when it will relocate to Shanghai World Expo exhibition and convention centre.
