Nowhere is constant cleaning as important as in cleanrooms during ongoing operations. Whether you opt for an external service provider or seek competent advice and training for your own team – the COWA Cleanroom Competence Center offers comprehensive service. At the "Cleanzone" trade fair in 2022 in Frankfurt, the experts showcased their expertise and explained everything about contamination, its prevention, and removal using a practical example.

At the end of November, suppliers related to cleanrooms presented themselves at "Cleanzone" and welcomed a large and diverse audience. During these two days of the fair, COWA showcased its new Black Box. This is an opaque tent in which fluorescent particles are made visible using UV light. During the public demonstrations, the cleanroom experts explained how quickly contamination can occur, what mistakes can happen when donning protective clothing, and ultimately, how particles can be professionally and efficiently cleaned.

High demand for training topics

The contacts and inquiries from booth visitors related to all services offered by the Cleanroom Competence Center. However, it became clear that there is a strong interest and demand for professional training both nationally and internationally. The complex and continuously evolving regulations and standards of the various cleanroom classes require intensive, repetitive, and, if necessary, supplementary training for the cleaning personnel. Quality control is also a crucial factor for the required safety. A competent partner that enables companies to focus on their core business is becoming increasingly sought after.

Joachim Schupp (Head of the Competence Center), Christian Conrady (Technical Director), and Milena Stitzenberger (Personnel Development & Training) guarantee that COWA is the right and holistic partner in this field – a team of experts who, through decades of experience, ongoing training, and personal commitment, remain always up-to-date and support their customers effectively.
