ISSA/INTERCLEAN Amsterdam turns up the heat

Sunshine and high temperatures greeted the 30,289 visitors from 134 countries who attended the show – 76% of the visitors came from outside the Netherlands. 

The robot arena and information-packed seminars at the InnovationLAB were two new features that proved popular. At the Innovation Award Ceremony on the first day, Sealed Air Diversey Care was crowned overall winner for its product Augmented Reality: Suma Revoflow. Other category winners were: Robot RA 660 NAVI from Cleanfix and the Quick & Easy System from Werner & Mertz Professional. The BRC 40/22 C from Kärcher won the Visitor’s Choice Award.

The sunny weather made the Outdoor Demo Show more popular than ever. Once inside, there were countless activities on exhibitor stands for visitors to enjoy: a breakdance performance, caricature cartoonist, a Marilyn Monroe stand-in and even a virtual reality demonstration boosting the experience. More visitors spent three days at the show floor, resulting in a vibrant exhibition and the busiest days ever.

“The success of ISSA/INTERCLEAN Amsterdam was the great atmosphere throughout the RAI complex,” Rob den Hertog, manager ISSA/INTERCLEAN at RAI Amsterdam, said. 

“From the Award Ceremony on the opening day of the show to the many business contacts on the exhibition floor, from the high degree of knowledge exchange at the complementary ISSA seminar programme and the innovations in the InnovationLAB to the networking fun at the various social gatherings, ISSA/INTERCLEAN was the place to be. Now the work starts for ISSA/INTERCLEAN Amsterdam 2018, we look forward to it!”

The next ISSA/INTERCLEAN show will take place in Istanbul, Turkey from 7 – 9 September 2016.
