The Value of Exhibiting at the Dutch Cleaning Equipment Show

• The Amsterdam Cleaning Exhibition is the world’s oldest and most influential event in the cleaning industry. Since its inception in 1967, it has been successfully held for dozens of editions and is widely regarded by the industry as the “Oscar” of the global cleaning sector and a leading indicator of trends in the European cleaning market. Co-organized by RAI Amsterdam and the International Sanitization & Cleaning Association (ISSA), the biennial show takes place in Amsterdam. The 2026 edition will be held from April 14 to 17, making it an ideal platform for entering the European market.
• The core value of exhibiting lies in its unparalleled international platform and its unique ability to connect exhibitors with global decision-makers. In 2025, the exhibition covered 80,000 square meters, bringing together 892 exhibitors and attracting 50,990 professional visitors. Among them, 75% were international market leaders and decision-makers in the cleaning products, distribution, and entrepreneurship sectors. Of the buyers from over 130 countries, 73% were overseas attendees, and more than 70% held purchasing decision-making authority, providing exhibitors with a strategic gateway to engage directly with key global buyers.
• The show has established a one-stop commercial platform that spans the entire cleaning industry chain. Exhibits cover all categories, including cleaning machinery and equipment, cleaning tools and spare parts, detergents, indoor environmental purification technologies, and sanitation and solid waste management systems. The exhibition also features four immersive experience centers: the Medical Cleaning Experience Hall (Hall 12) focuses on infection prevention and hygiene standards; the Hotel Cleaning Experience Hall (Hall 8) introduces new segments such as laundry care and pest control; the Outdoor Cleaning Experience Zone (K Entrance) offers real‑world equipment demonstrations; and the Robotics Experience Hall (Hall 5) showcases cutting-edge advancements like AI‑guided and autonomous cleaning robots.
• Keeping pace with the three major industry trends—automation, robotics, and sustainability—the show has created a high‑tech hub fostering deep integration among industry, academia, research, and application. At the 2026 edition, the focus will be on innovative applications from the AI Cleaning Lab, bringing together start-ups and industry experts to explore next‑generation AI‑driven solutions for cleaning. Concurrently, the Amsterdam Innovation Awards (AIA) will be presented, featuring competition categories such as environmental sustainability and ergonomics. Throughout the event, more than a hundred specialized activities will take place, including the ISSA Knowledge Forum, the ECHA European Cleaning and Hygiene Awards symposium, and thematic forums on sustainable development and data technology. Participating companies include internationally renowned brands such as Zvoove, Essity, Diversey, Toolsense, Excel Dryer, Werner & Mertz, and others.
• For Chinese enterprises, this exhibition serves as a strategic gateway to penetrate the European market, connect with international resources, and showcase their innovative capabilities. At the 2022 show, Chinese companies won the Amsterdam Cleaning Innovation Award for the first time—Gaussian Robotics was honored with the Smart Technology and Digitalization Award for its AI‑powered commercial cleaning robot. Chinese exhibitors included Gaussian, DeepBlue Technology, Ouka Intelligent Ship, Xidi Intelligence, Guobang, Fan’er, Clive, Tewos, Jieda, Rongjiang, Changqi, Yihong, Xinchang Bade, Jiuyuan Textile, and Trico—totaling 15 companies. Through this platform, Chinese firms can access global procurement networks and seize early opportunities in the intelligent and green transformation of Europe’s cleaning industry.
