parts2clean 2025: higher demands on component cleaning
Specifications calling for stricter cleanliness for parts and components, greater demands for cost-effective cleaning, and more exacting requirements for energy and resource-efficiency in processes – industrial component cleaning is facing a variety of challenges.
parts2clean presents solutions for reconciling these sometimes contradictory objectives. The information and procurement platform with a comprehensive range of industrial cleaning technology will be held from 7-9th October 2025 at the Stuttgart Exhibition Center in Germany. The supporting programme of the 21st leading international trade fair also offers a transfer of knowledge on trends, innovations, and benchmark applications that is in demand worldwide.
Whether new mobility, electronics, the semiconductor industry, sensor technology, optics, medical technology, the pharmaceutical industry, aerospace, or defence – components and assemblies in almost all sectors are becoming increasingly compact, complex, and sensitive to contamination. This is resulting in more stringent cleanliness requirements for component cleaning. Accordingly, adapted or optimised cleaning processes are required. In parallel to this, the cleanliness of the production environment is becoming increasingly important in order to minimise contamination and to avoid cross-contamination and recontamination. These aspects also play a key role when it comes to the cost-effectiveness of cleaning. In addition, husbanding of resources and a reduced carbon footprint are also becoming increasingly vital core requirements in component cleaning.
Cleaning solutions that are in demand
"With the most up-to-date and comprehensive international offering in the field of industrial cleaning technology, parts2clean will present solutions that can effectively meet the increased demands on component cleaning from a technological, economic, and ecological point of view," reports Ramtin Randjbar-Moshtaghin, Project Director at Deutsche Messe AG since 1st June 2025. The exhibitors' solution portfolio is optimally adapted to the respective production step, the component geometry, and material as well as to the contamination and cleanliness requirements – from deburring and pre- or intermediate cleaning to final and high-purity cleaning. Topics such as automation, digitalisation, and artificial intelligence (AI) also play a role. "The complete and innovative range of exhibits makes parts2clean the world's most important information and procurement platform for industrial cleaning technology. This is also indicated by the fact that the leading international trade fair attracts almost exclusively trade visitors (99%), about 80% of whom come with intent to invest," adds Randjbar-Moshtaghin. The 21st leading international trade fair for industrial parts and surface cleaning will be held from 7-9th October 2025 at the Stuttgart Exhibition Center in Germany.
Supporting programme with p2c.EXPERTFORUM and award ceremony
The exhibitors' cleaning solutions crossing industry, technology, and material disciplines will be complemented by an attractive supporting programme. This includes the bilingual p2c.EXPERTFORUM, which has established itself as a highly prized source of knowledge. It will be organised and held in cooperation with the Fraunhofer Cleaning division and the German Industrial Parts Cleaning Association (FiT).
"The topics of the simultaneously translated (German <> English) presentations will provide information about current challenges, new developments, and trends in industrial parts cleaning as well as benchmark applications and basic knowledge," explains Randjbar-Moshtaghin.
A highlight of the supporting programme at this year's event awaits visitors at the FiT's special show area: the presentation of the 4th FiT2clean award. The annual award, which is endowed with a 10,000 euro prize, honours outstanding achievements and innovative solutions in industrial parts cleaning.
