Messe Frankfurt, the international trade fair, congress and event organiser with its own exhibition grounds in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, has finalised a deal with the Clean Show Executive Committee (CEC) to purchase the Clean Show, the largest trade fair for linen, uniform and facility services in the Western Hemisphere. As a part of the deal, TRSA, the association for the linen, uniform and facility services industry, and its four association partners will maintain their close involvement with the biennial Clean Show.
The first edition as a part of the Messe Frankfurt portfolio of textile-care fairs will be held in New Orleans from June 20-23, 2019. Future events are planned for Atlanta and Orlando in 2021 and 2023, respectively. Messe Frankfurt will organise the Clean Show in cooperation with its five former owners, including TRSA.
The purchase of Clean Show will elevate the portfolio of trade fairs organised by Messe Frankfurt for linen, uniform and facility services businesses. Texcare International has been held in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, since 1956. The network has expanded to include trade shows in China and the United Arab Emirates, as well as conferences in growth markets under the heading ‘Texcare Forum.’
