Parts2clean Stuttgart exhibition(1)

I was on 28th-30th October ”Parts2clean” exhibition in Stuttgart.This show is an specialised exhibition of wash and cleaning suppliers and some auxiliary equipment like filters and cleanliness controls.The exhibitors were mainly German manufacturers( and they were a lot¡).The ambient in the show was surprisingly animated. A lot of visitors ( quality visitors) and exhibitors Staff.

For an end user is easy and fast to visit several potential suppliers and request quotations in the same day.Inconvenient for the visitors: if you are not German , you will have some difficulties . The exhibitors panels and adds are mainly in German , and the staff present in the booth are not all English spoken( neither in french or Italian , of course).

As the exhibition is very specialised on the wash-cleaning and that the exhibitors shows and present their better and last technologies , this exhibition is also a quick way for their competitors to be aware of the new technologies or tendencies in the sector keeping a hard competition between.Around Stuttgart and Munich are located a big number of wash manufactures allowing the cross transfer of engineers between the manufacturers staffs , information , and clients . Another pole is located at the Nord around Aachen and Dusseldorf.A lot of the exhibitors have the engineering and construction in Germany but they also have facilities in the European east countries (Chekia, Hungary , Poland ) and including some of them they are starting also  facilities in China.

       The number of wash/cleaning manufacturers in Germany is a consequence of the big Market for them. Germany has many mechanical Industries. From small , to medium or big companies. All of them working with mechanical quality requests , so with thigth quality (and cleaning) specifications , with strong Tier1 automotive suppliers .This situation is specific to Germany and there is no other Market in Europe like this.By other side due to this competitive and close connection between competitors there is certain uniformity on the machine design and technique. This maybe is the chance that the few foreign suppliers are looking for ?

The ambient in the exhibition was busy . A lot of value visitors . No crisis ambient at all.

In the next days I’ll annalise more in detail this exhibition with other posts.
