Leading world manufacturers of cleaning equipment and chemicals will be represented here, alongside with professional cleaning equipment and detergents, industrial cleaning equipment, lavatory equipment and disposables, sanitary and hygienic products, equipment, chemicals and technologies for dry cleaners and laundry facilities.
In 2009 the CLEANEXPO exhibition was included into the St.Petersburg Government priority list of exhibitions for 2009-2011. /The St.Petersburg Government resolution № 229 of 27.02.2009/.
'Over recent years, the exhibition has become the largest industry event in the Northwest region which displays the leading Russian and foreign companies in the field of cleaning services. I am sure that the rapid development of the cleaning market undoubtedly exerts the positive influence on the public conscience, cultivation of the hygienic and sanitary culture in the new generation of young Petersburgers.

Exhibitor testimonials:
'The past exhibition reflected the positions of the main players in the cleaning market. The reduced size of the exhibition, a result of the economic crisis, in no way diminished its importance. In fact, it made the event all the more lively, on account of the limited number of exhibitors and, consequently, the high concentration of visitors within a relatively small area. We were pleased with the exhibition, as, strange as it may seem, our number of contacts tripled by comparison with 2007 in St. Petersburg'.
S. Alifanov, Head of Professional Equipment Sales Department, Karcher
‘We were pleasantly surprised with the quantity of visitors. Compared to last year, there have been even more visitors. Our purpose was to increase company promotion and look for new clients, which we succeeded in doing. Many specialists saw our company for the first time, which means that the organisers invited the right target visitors for us’.
E. Egorova, Sales Manager, MEZDUNARODNIY TEHNICHESKIY CENTER
‘A lot of clients know that we participate in CleanExpo and visited us. All exhibition days were very busy. Although there was a decline in consumers, interest to our machinery was still high. We are going to participate in the November exhibition, Dry-cleaners and Laundries in Moscow’.
I.Koblenz, President, KOBLENZ&PARTNER, OOO
‘The quantity of visitors has been surprising and pleasant. Knowing the specificity of our machinery, we do not expect instant results, but the interest of many clients suggests we will sign many contracts in the future.’
U.Nazarov, Sales Manager for professional equipment, MIELE CIS
‘Our participation was successful as we managed to sell our self-service laundry equipment. Visitors came with a particular interest; the target audience was of a very high quality. Undoubtedly, there are financial difficulties, but there is still demand’.
G.Skovorodina, Chief of Sales Department, NEVSKY PROSPECT, JSC
‘Taking into account the fact that the exhibition took place during the economic crisis, we did not expect to see a lot of visitors or interest in our new brand. We have a positive opinion of the exhibition because there were a lot of visitors and they were interested in our products. Our main goal was to find an importer or distributor in Russia, and this may be possible because of our participation in this exhibition. The overwhelming majority of visitors were representatives of cleaning companies so we were able to have professional discussions’.
Nekrasova I., Export Manager, MICROTECH SRL
‘Thanks to the organisers for great exhibition! We met a lot of interested customers. The organisers work really hard attracting visitors by promoting the fair. Despite the difficult economic conditions, the exhibition was very useful for our company. We found new customers and caught up with old clients’.
Evdokimov A., Commercial Director, SPETSMEKHANIZATSIYA
