Interclean 2026: What We Took Away

by Russell Blunt / 23 April 2026
InterClean

Interclean 2026 delivered exactly what you would expect: big stands, bold claims, and plenty of cobotics on display.

But across 75,000m² of innovation and more than 900 exhibitors, our focus remained simple: what will genuinely add value for our colleagues and customer sites?

For us, innovation only matters when it improves the reality of day-to-day operations. We are looking for solutions that help our teams work smarter through connected technology, make tasks safer, support more sustainable ways of working, and enhance on-site service delivery

Over the coming weeks, we will work with our partners to arrange hands-on demonstrations and innovation days, giving our teams the opportunity to see these solutions in action and test their value in real-world operating environments.

Because what works well in an exhibition hall does not always translate to the demands of a live customer site. The real opportunity lies in identifying innovation that is practical, scalable, and capable of delivering measurable value.
