Interclean Amsterdam: Cleaning and Hygiene Trends 2020

In the run-up to the 2020 event, Interclean Amsterdam reveals the three trends set to shape the professional cleaning and hygiene industry in years to come.

Following its remarkable success in 2018, Interclean Amsterdam returns to the Dutch capital in 2020 for another edition of the world’s most advanced cleaning and hygiene show. Attracting more than 33,000 attendees from across 143 countries, the 2018 event was a truly international affair. And next year’s show will be no different, bringing the industry together to celebrate the best of cleaning innovation. What has changed, however, is the technology. Two years is a long time in innovation. So, when the exhibition opens its doors to attendees in May 2020, three major trends are likely to set the agenda: Robotics, Data, and Sustainability.

Sustainability in Practice with WOMAtec

The hot topic of 2019: Sustainability. Everyone’s talking about it.  Although much is discussed and published on the topic, the trend toward the throwaway society continues to grow. Daniel Köhler, Managing Director and owner of WOMAtec Maschinenbau GmbH, would like to reverse that. He sees great opportunity to conserve resources and implement concepts of sustainable production in a practical and realistic manner, especially in the German machine building industry. “Extremely robust and durable machines have always been built in Germany,” says Köhler.  “We can take advantage of this simply by utilizing an already available resource: used machines.” These machines are brought to the state of the art by Köhler and his team of over 20 employees, and are then able to go back into the production cycle.
