20 YEARS CleanRoomNet

On May 20 and 21, 2025, the anniversary event of the "CleanRoomNet" network took place in the rooms of pure11 on the grounds of Bavaria Film Studios. In addition to employees of the network partners, numerous guests had gathered to commemorate and celebrate this event. Dirk Steil welcomed the guests and then handed over to Paul Jochem. He shared stories from the network's history and reported on CleanRoomNet Tuesdays and other activities such as "The Pharmacy of Tomorrow" or "Cleanroom Technology 4.0".

The idea to establish a network for all cleanroom-specific areas originated from Paul Jochem in 2004. The goal was to offer customers a comprehensive range of products and services related to cleanrooms. With six partner companies bringing the necessary know-how in cleanroom technology and extensive expertise in technical equipment, the CleanRoomNet was founded in 2005. Since then, the network has been successfully developed and expanded. Today, the network includes the companies Becker Reinraumtechnik, Dorfner Group, Elpro, Klima Becker Full Service, Paul Jochem ReinraumTechnik, pure11, SLKB, stoCretec, Stubl Kunststoffverpackungen, TUV SÜD, VHP Engineering, and WZB.

Through the informative symposium program, Sandra Kohlmann from the Dorfner Group led the event. Many new insights were gained from the practical and informative lectures:
