Future-oriented: "Cleanzone 2013 with a focus on technology and life sciences"

Exhibitors plan custom trade fair booth designs

With a sharpened profile and under promising conditions, the second Cleanzone will kick off on October 22 and 23, 2013, in Frankfurt am Main. The trade fair and congress successfully debuted last year as the new international industry meeting point for cleanroom technology and addresses across industries where production is currently or will be in the future conducted under cleanroom conditions.

In 2013, the trade fair is therefore targeted even more precisely at trade visitors from two clear industry focuses: "Technology & Microtechnology" targets sectors such as microelectronics, microsystems technology, semiconductors, aerospace, optics and laser technology, automotive, electronics, and precision mechanics. "Life Sciences" includes pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, food, medical research, pharmacies, and biotechnology. Overlaps are found in the application fields of medical technology and packaging. "By sharpening our profile, we emphasize the interdisciplinary approach of Cleanzone and also target those industries that are relatively new to this highly exciting and forward-looking cross-sectional technology," says Johannes Schmid-Wiedersheim, Head of New Events at Messe Frankfurt Exhibition.

Great interest from exhibitors

Already three-quarters of a year before the start, the response to the young trade fair is very positive. Many companies have already confirmed their participation as exhibitors. The free event concept is particularly well received, allowing them to present their products, services, and offerings in a very individual way. "In addition to the excellent quality of trade visitors, the industry welcomes our approach to practically demonstrate and make tangible the diversity of cleanroom applications. This applies both to the action stage Cleanzone Plaza with its special lecture program and to the booth design of the exhibitors. Therefore, we are pleased that some companies have already announced they will bring very illustrative exhibits to Cleanzone," says Schmid-Wiedersheim.

Cleanzone in Frankfurt

Cleanzone is the new international and cross-industry industry meeting point for cleanroom technology. The organizer is Messe Frankfurt, with the Reinraum Akademie Leipzig acting as marketing and content partner. The debut in October 2012 attracted participants from 13 countries to Frankfurt. The trade fair and congress received top marks: 89 percent of visitors and 84 percent of exhibitors were satisfied to very satisfied with the premiere. 46 percent of visitors came from top management, and 88 percent stated they influence purchasing and procurement within their companies.

In its second year, both the trade fair and congress are to be expanded internationally and thematically. The next Cleanzone will take place on October 22 and 23, 2013, in Hall 1.1 of the Frankfurt exhibition grounds, parallel to the CPhI global trade fair for pharmaceutical ingredients.
