CMS Berlin 2023: Leading Industry Event Comes to a Successful Conclusion

421 exhibitors from 25 countries
Around 21,000 visitors – a new record
Exhibitors give a positive verdict

From 19 to 22 September 2023 the international cleaning industry came together for the leading trade fair for cleaning and hygiene in Berlin. After a four-year break the trade fair took place for the eleventh time on the Berlin Exhibition Grounds again and attracted more visitors than in any previous year.

In 2023 around 21,000 visitors attended the fair, compared with 20,000 in 2019. 421 exhibitors from 25 countries presented an overview of the market for commercial cleaning systems (2019: 448/25) on an indoor and outdoor display area covering 31,000 square metres.

“This year’s CMS Berlin exceeded our expectations. The visitor numbers were higher than in 2019, which marked the previous record. Once again, the leading trade fair for cleaning and hygiene showed that Berlin is the meeting place for the international cleaning industry“, said Dirk Hoffmann, COO, Messe Berlin.

“CMS Berlin underlined its role as the main meeting place for the entire cleaning industry. Crowded aisles, lively stands and well-attended auditoriums were the hallmarks of the four-day event. This year, being able to meet and exchange views again after a four year-break made us very happy“, said Ruth Senitz, director of CMS Berlin.

This year’s CMS Berlin featured a wide range of products, lots of innovations, 100 live demonstrations, plus 61 lectures and networking formats. Trade visitors were able to see more live presentations and try out more products than in any previous year.

On 19 September the expert jury deciding the Purus Innovation Award (PIA) honoured six winners out of a total of 83 entries. Exhibitors also presented 86 innovations, out of which 29 made their trade fair debut and nine their first appearance on the world stage.

This was the third time the Mobility Cleaning Circle took place, an exclusive networking format for representatives of the mobility sector and cleaning industry. 70 guests took up the invitation to discuss sustainability concepts for cleaning public transport vehicles.

The next edition of CMS Berlin will take place from 23 to 26 September 2025. For more information about CMS Berlin, please click the link below:
