More than 20 brands with products and solutions for both of these industries were present at the expo, which also included the Experience Forum, a free space for technical-commercial conferences and live demonstrations, where attendees were able to learn first-hand about innovations by the exhibitors, sponsors and partners such as Hipal, Servicio Nacional de Aprendizaje (SENA), Fenaseo, Hipcam, Marwind, Indpower and Interaseo / Tecnovap.

Both academic congresses offered an agenda of conferences with national speakers, as well as guests from Spain, Mexico and El Salvador. This academic encounter ended with the 2022 LATAM CleanTec Show Americas Award to the most innovative product, of which Klaxen was the winner with its Klaxinn Tabs product line. The company Diversey was also nominated with its UV disinfection product, Moonbeam 3.

The next destination of the 2023 show will be Panama, on September 13 and 14 at the Riu Plaza Hotel in Panama City.

The LATAM TecnoEdificios Award 2022 for Business Trajectory and Competitiveness was also awarded to Fondo Inmobiliario PACTIA, for its energy efficiency project that enhances environmental sustainability.

Andrea Ochoa, academic coordinator, emphasized that “this was a Congress designed to strengthen companies’ sustainability, leadership and competitiveness in order to improve decision-making, project investment and productivity. For 2023, we plan to be much stronger, improving the academic program hand in hand with industry experts” and she extended the invitation to speakers and attendees to “be part of these important events next year.”

Carolina Gallego, Country Manager of CleanTec and TecnoEdificios, commented that this “has been a year of successes, allowing us to move forward, improve and grow as a benchmark event in the Cleaning and Facility Management sectors,” while Sandra Camacho, Project Manager of CleanTec and TecnoEdificios expressed her satisfaction for “making the three dimensions of sustainability economic, social and environmental sustainability, move forward in harmony,” and pointed out that “it is a question of investing in the future in training and technological innovation as essential factors in the change towards sustainable development. We look forward to Panama 2023, with new activities and listening to the contributions of our clients and visitors in order to achieve a Congress and trade show as successful as this year’s.”

This event has the support of the National Federation of cleaning Companies (Federación Nacional de Empresas de Aseo, Fenaseo), the renowned union that brings together companies that offer professional cleaning and related services in Colombia, in order to promote growth and formalization for this sector. It has more than 70 federated members, 300 contacts and 50 commercial agreements in Colombia.

As traditional in the events organized by Latin Press, CleanTec Show will hold the two-day Academic Congress, the first of which will have an exclusive agenda of expert Fenaseo professionals, with a general theme covering “Trends in the cleaning industry: what came up, what continues and what could change. Impact of the pandemic on the industry and the adoption of new standards and protocols for professional cleaning.”

The event will be held in parallel with TecnoEdificios, the renowned expo for the Facility Management industry.

Carolina Gallego, Academic Coordinator and Account Manager of CleanTec Show Americas, highlights that the Academic Congress will especially focus on topics regarding “maintenance in buildings and cleaning; sustainability and biosafety; robotics in maintenance management; enforcing Facility Management systems; myths and realities in sanitation; employee empowerment and emotion management in pandemic times; technological and scientific evolution in the cleaning sector; a case study about the Hilton CleanStay program, and much more.”

And to bring visitors even closer to the newest professional cleaning and sanitation solutions that have been developed during the pandemic, the Experience Room will be open to all visitors, a space for selected exhibitors to carry out different demonstrations of their products and solutions.

“For Fenaseo it is of vital importance the alliance with Latin Press through CleanTec Show. All initiatives that support the Federation in acknowledging the work of the cleaning and related industries in Colombia will always be welcome,” highlights María del Pilar Rodríguez Guzmán, Executive Director of Fenaseo. “Our philosophy is to be at the forefront of the trends and innovations of this sector worldwide and we extend our gratitude to Latin Press for establishing this alliance,” she adds.

For his part, Max Jaramillo, Show Director of Cleantec Show comments that “without a doubt, the pandemic has left consequences in our societies. Perhaps the most important has been an emphasized appreciation of cleanliness and hygiene in the environment where we live and work every day. The CleanTec congress is a commitment to highlight, professionalize and energize the sector, to be able to make the most of the spaces that surround us.”

In addition, Carolina Gallego explains that “CleanTec Show and TecnoEdificios will be held together for the first time in a strategic way, considering how the professional cleaning sector and Facility Management complement each other, so we will have two days of exhibition and academic activity with solutions and experts in both sectors.”

“We consider that the decision to organize CleanTec Show 2021 has been very sensible, to meet and network after so long without face-to-face events,” says Sandra Camacho, Project Manager of CleanTec Show Americas. “We are certain that the first version of this Show will be very productive for all attendees, who will learn about new disinfection and maintenance technologies, and will be able to discover tools that will allow them to face the challenges that this segment faces today,” she adds.

It is important to mention that all spaces and activities during the event will be carried out in compliance with the Biosafety Protocols against covid-19, arranged by the show’s host, the Hilton Corferias Hotel, available at www.cleantec.show/protocolos-covid-19.html.

The Expo will begin on Wednesday, November 3, starting at 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., until Thursday, November 4 from 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., while the Academic Congress will be held the same days, starting at 9:00 a.m. until 5:30 p.m.
