From A for “Absolutely burr-free” aka deburring to Z for “Zero particle” aka high purity, it covers the entire range of applications – the reason why these two disciplines in particular define the highlight topics.

From deburring, degreasing and classic component cleaning to high-purity applications, the exhibition covers an even more comprehensive range of applications than the previous event. The 21st edition of the leading international trade fair for industrial parts and surface cleaning will be staged at the Stuttgart Exhibition Center, running from 7 – 9 October 2025.

When the topic of “High Purity” was introduced at the last event, the focus was on the terminology used by the cleaning industry in this area and the relevant aspects to be considered, such as the production chain and the production environment. “Under the motto of 'High Purity. Next Chapter’, the spotlight at Parts2clean 2025 will increasingly be on applications-focused factors and criteria,” explains Christoph Nowak, project director at Deutsche Messe. The organizers are thus taking into account the growing number of cleaning tasks in which extremely high requirements for particulate cleanliness, sometimes down to the nanometer range, and particularly strict specifications regarding residual film contamination must be met, in part involving the use of hydrogen-induced outgassing (HIO) substances. Cleaning solutions for such tasks are required in the semiconductor, optical and optoelectronic industries, electronics, sensor technology, photonics, thin-film technology, vacuum, laser and analysis technology, aerospace, defense technology, medical and pharmaceutical technology as well as in various areas of e-mobility.

The supporting program of the flagship trade fair, including the bilingual p2c.Expertforum, features as a mainstay of the event. Established in response to industry demands for an expert forum, the event is organized and held in cooperation with the Fraunhofer Cleaning Division and the German Industrial Parts Cleaning Association (FiT). English-language p2c.Tours enable visitors to find out more about specific topics and trade fair highlights. In addition, the new p2c.Webinar program covers the knowledge requirements for industrial parts and surface cleaning during the biennial tradeshow off-years.
