ECJ EUROPEAN Cleaning Journal

Cleaning professionals from around the world were in Amsterdam last week for the ISSA/INTERCLEAN Amsterdam 2016 exhibition. And the sun shone for the 30,289 visitors from 134 countries who visited the show - 76 per cent of the attendees were from outside the Netherlands.

Two new features that proved to be a big hit were the robot arena and the information-packed seminars at the InnovationLAB. And at the Amsterdam Innovation Award ceremony on the first day Sealed Air Diversey Care was crowned overall winner for its product Augmented Reality: Suma Revoflow.

Other category winners in the award were: Robot RA 660 NAVI from Cleanfix and the Quick & Easy System from Werner & Mertz Professional. The BRC 40/22 C from Kärcher won the Visitor's Choice Award.

"The success of ISSA/INTERCLEAN Amsterdam was the great atmosphere throughout the RAI complex," said Rob den Hertog, manager ISSA/INTERCLEAN at RAI Amsterdam.

"From the award ceremony on the opening day to the many business contacts on the exhibition floor, from the high degree of knowledge exchange at the complementary ISSA seminar programme and the innovations in the InnovationLAB to the networking fun at the various social gatherings, ISSA/INTERCLEAN was the place to be."

He concluded: "Now the work starts for ISSA/INTERCLEAN Amsterdam 2018, we look forward to it!"

Next stop for ISSA/INTERCLEAN is Istanbul, with the show there taking place from September 7-9.
