Growing Numbers for ISSA PULIRE: The 27th Edition Closes with Over 21,000 Visits from 101 Countries and 421 Exhibitors
The 27th edition of ISSA PULIRE, the most important trade
show dedicated to professional cleaning, has successfully concluded, once again
confirming its role as an international benchmark for the industry.
The 2025 edition welcomed 421 exhibitors, 52 more than in
2023, with a significant presence of 169 first-time exhibitors, reflecting the
growing interest and dynamism within the sector.
Attendance reached 21,020 visits from 101 countries, 28% of
whom came from abroad. The majority of international participants were from
Europe (76%), followed by Asia (11%), America (5%), and Africa (4%).
Contributing to this success was the presence of international buyer
delegations, organized in collaboration with the Italian Trade Agency, from
Algeria, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Ghana, Morocco, Nigeria, and South Africa.
“I’m very pleased with the results of this edition,”
commented Toni D’Andrea, CEO of ISSA PULIRE Network. “The extraordinary turnout
and the quality of both exhibitors and visitors show how the industry is
constantly evolving, and how the trade fair continues to be a central event on
the international stage. These figures confirm ISSA PULIRE’s role as a global
platform for innovation, networking, and professional development, integrating
technology, sustainability, and education.”
There was also great enthusiasm for the special initiatives,
including the prestigious “Product of the Year ISSA PULIRE 2025” award, which
was presented to I-Walk by I-Team, selected for its compact and functional
design, ease of use, and strong focus on sustainability—providing a tangible
contribution to the smart transformation of cleaning operations. The People’s
Choice Mention, voted by attendees, was awarded to Hy-genio by Hygenia, a
complete cleaning system designed to optimize operations in professional
environments while reducing waste, downtime, and operator risk. The event
showcased the technological and design excellence that defines the industry.
Another highlight was the ISSA PULIRE Hackathon, which
brought together eight multidisciplinary teams of university students who
competed on the theme of intelligent and sustainable cleaning management for
two futuristic stadiums in Milan, imagined in 2035 as cutting-edge
multifunctional hubs. The first prize was awarded to the I-Team Team, sponsored
by the namesake company and composed of three students enrolled in the
Industrial Automation Engineering program at the University of Brescia. Second
place went to the Idrobase ISSA Team, composed of four students from the
Artificial Intelligence and Mathematics & AI programs at the University of
Milano-Bicocca, University of Milan (Statale), and University of Pavia.
See you at the next edition in 2027, with new challenges,
new key players, and an increasingly global vision of professional cleaning.
