Clean India Pulire 2018 Visitors Speak

“Just like the uniforms worn by our smart looking air crew, we found some interesting uniform options for our on-ground cleaning staff as well. We suggest you also add facilities management service providers, so we can quickly check the feasibility of the latest solutions offered.”

Dr Nerkar SC,
Head – Properties and Administration, Jet Airways

“As expected, I got more than 100% of what I had expected. The washroom cleaning concept is the one I was searching for and I found the solution in this expo which I will be implementing in Sri Lanka in the next 1-2 years. And I am also, especially impressed by the laundry system. I had a chat with 2-3 suppliers who are interested to come down in Sri Lanka and join hands which has made me extremely happy.”

Thomas U Moses,
General Manager, Ultrakleen Private Limited (Srilanka)

We have a setup of housekeeping which is not maintained up to the mark but coming here we found cleaning equipment’s, sanitation odour control, laundry and all type of manual as well as mechanical equipment’s, detergents, disinfectants and laundry machineries. It has been a great experience and I specially thank all the representatives for treating us so well.”

“We are benefited with all the information received during our visit of the Expos and we would like to congratulate you for organizing such a wonderful event. First, we were hesitant but after visiting we saw so many products which we were otherwise not able to get. We have limited information of manufacturers but here there are a variety of manufacturers, dealers and distributors whom we will invite.

“Earlier most of our cleaning systems were man-powered, now everything has become technology based, even the solutions and chemicals which applied has made our work easier. Being a service industry, our challenge is to upkeep our terminal, so our passengers feel satisfied. Our interest is to compete with the best standards, state-of the- art facilities and whatever is available in the global market. It is a wonderful event and we will be visiting in the future too.”

My responsibility with the Railways is now as a Divisional Environment and Housekeeping Manager. So, I am into the housekeeping of stations and trains for a period of one year. I was trying to learn from other’s experiences but the moment I came here, I was able to get a lot of technological options, technical inputs and a lot of good points and interaction with the industries where they were able to show me their products and processes.”

Waste Technology India Expo 2018 Visitors Speak

Well planned visit by corporations, saw teams from Panipat, Thane and 14 other cities sourcing specific products. Panipat Corporation team sourced road sweepers and were looking for open drain cleaning machine. “We have found the solution we required in this Expo and are looking forward to purchasing some of the equipment as well. We are having Swatchata Sarvekshan team coming in February to judge our cleanliness mission and we are geared up to make Panipat a cleaner place than it is and try coming within the top 200 cities than the current rank of within 300 cities,” said Krishnakumar and Sudhir Kumar (Chief Sanitary Inspectors) and Narendra Kumar, Panipat Municipal Corporation, Haryana.

“The problem of solid waste management requires a multi-pronged strategy. The focus of Swachh Bharat is on decentralised waste processing along with composting and incineration as a last resort. The support of citizens and multiple stake holders is also an important part of strategy in the cities of India. In this context, the numerous displays which were here, and discussions done are perfectly in line of priorities of the Swachh Bharat Mission.”

– Sameer Unhale,
Additional Municipal Commissioner Thane Corporation

“It is just two years since I have taken over the council as the Chairperson. When we took over, I could see garbage heaped up at every corner of Margao and it was a big challenge because we did not have the support of the administration. However, we went on and kept pursuing the subject. In fact, me and my friends engaged in door-to-door education. We also had the challenge of the Safai Karamcharis mixing the segregated garbage.

People throw thermocol and packing materials right at the corner. There are some dark spots in the city which are very difficult to take care. Nevertheless our efforts are on. Margaon is surrounded by 11 panchayats and a lot of waste comes from these areas due lack of waste disposal system. Many entry points are flooded with garbage. We have almost achieved a 100% in collecting from door to door as we have increased the paid sanitation process.

Being a doctor by profession, being at this show, I could understand the science behind this whole process. I interacted with a lot of resourceful people who were at the show for different kinds of solutions. What interested me the most was that there were stalls for various things. It is a wonderful experience overall.”

Dr Babita Angle Prabhudesai,
Chairperson, Margaon Municipal Council

Car Care Expo 2018

The flow of visitors on all three days from different places across India, confirmed the increasing investment in the growing car care business in India. Automated car washes, bike wash, foaming, steam cleaners, exterior cleaning agents… this show had a huge crowd on all three days.

Even though there are many auto expos, Car Care Expo which is dedicated is one aspect, is fast gaining grounds. The focus is not only in the level of cleaning but doing it effectively with minimum chemicals. Steam cleaning uses eco-friendly method of bacteria removal along with car washing.

Waterless car washing was another technology in demand. Irrespective of the size, buses and railway coaches too can get a wash down in minutes with Made in India vehicle wash system; thus, giving more than eight and half million commuters a cleaner, safer and healthier experience. This is one Expo which has caught the attention of start-ups and many car care parlours are coming up across India.

The conference on Car Care Technology & Business Opportunities was received enthusiastically. It included sessions on Water and Power Saving, Car Care Chemicals, Foam Wash, Waterless Wash, Nano Coating. This also was followed by a power packed discussion on Setting up independent Car Wash / detailing centre and increasing CSI Rating.

Agni Sharman (Founder), Agni Sharman Logistic Pvt. Ltd, said “This initiative is really good because there are so many people like us who want to know more about starting a new business in car detailing and car washing business as well as there are existing repair service centres who want to add these services rather than outsourcing it. So, this was a very good opportunity for other franchisees and participants to interact through the show. After coming here, we found out that there’s an alternative for a Rs 30 lakh equipment, which is just for Rs 5 lakh and that is exactly what we wanted. Visiting and being a part of this exhibition has added to my knowledge base. I also got to know that there many other equipment are accessible in the market.”

Clean India Technology Week 2017 Exhibitor speak

” The show has been really good and we have received good enquiries mainly from builders and facility services companies for our aerial work response. Different segments had different requirement. The visitors from the hotel industry wanted our Godrej Mantall XE-M110S for cleaning the outside area. Presently, they are either using scaffolding or get someone to hang from the top to clean the facade.”

“It has been a wonderful experience being back at Clean India Technology Week. Over the years, we found that Clean India has grown steadily and hence we realised we need to be here. We received a lot of serious enquiries from distributors as well as end users. We had visitors from railways, five star hotels besides others. We met very interesting distributors from Hyderabad and other parts of the region. We find that there is more demand for colour-coded bins, as India is focussing more on segregating waste today. Also, we got enquiries for feminine hygiene bins. We will be booking for the Clean India Technology Week in 2018 and try to be in all coming shows organised by Clean India ”

– K.C. Green Revolution

” The show has been quite good for us. We have got a couple of enquiries, especially from distributors in Hyderabad and other parts of South India. People are looking for new options, products and solutions, something which is good in quality and less in price. We have launched small packs for the retail segment. With this we are expanding to retail and shortly into the domestic range. ”

– Kleenfix

” We have had plenty of business enquiries at the event. The market growth is also 18 per cent year on year. We have launched three products based on the market requirements. We have also lunched the air fresheners first time in three different fragrances ”

– Dixit Lunkar, Managing Director, Impressive 9

“We have launched our new range of fabric fresheners that lasts for 30 days. With the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan making its mark, we have started manufacturing in India too.

Then the next year in Mumbai and now we are that we are in Hyderabad ”

– Rajesh Mehta, RR Chem

Setting up a commercial laundry is not just simply buying a washing machine. You need to buy a laundry equipment which is energy efficient, reduces manpower and is safe for operations.

At present, the market is little immature but is slated for exclusive growth in the near future. If you look at the market dynamics today, there is a lot of interest that is being generated from various quarters which were not even expected. Laundry Care Expo is just the beginning…

Association’s Speak

Dr. Gautam Kothari

Madhya Pradesh’s biggest industrial belt comprising of Pithampur, Kheda, SEZ and other areas, a 30,000 crore investment zone, comprises of India’s largest automobile, pharma and textile companies. Cleaning is an essential part of any manufacturing facility and we believe that through the forth coming Clean India Show in Indore, there will be widespread awareness about cleaning technology in this segment.

This is the first time that a cleaning show is being organised on a big scale in this city. This initiative by Clean India is a welcome move. All the manufacturing industries should take advantage of this opportunity.

Dr. Gautam Kothari,President, Pithampur Audhyogik Sangathan

Dr. S.B.Rijhwani

The Clean India Show being organised at Indore will definitely benefit the members, as they will come to know about the various cleaning technologies. Cleaning is essential for any manufacturing, especially for the pharma segment. Most of the pharma companies are definitely using cleaning compared to cleaning equipment. Smaller companies, with space constraints, would not be in a position to opt for mechanized cleaning. However, I am sure semi-automated small machines would interest them at the Clean India Show.

Dr. S.B.Rijhwani,President, Indian Pharmaceutical Association, M.P. State Branch, Indore and Vice President (Industrial Pharmacy Division), IPA

Himanshu Shah

The Clean India Show going to be held on April 16 & 17 shall be very much useful for Pharmaceutical Industry in educating them on for cleaning & maintenance hygiene
condition, environmental care, floor cleaning, de-dusting mechanisms, contamination, clean room & sterilization. This show will definitely help to join the hands with Swachh Bharat Abhiyan.

Himanshu Shah,Hon. Gen. Secretary, M.P. Small Scale Drug Manufacturers’ Association

Cleaning is the need of the hour, more so in the industrial segment. Clean India Show 2015 will help us get solutions for pollution and hygiene, which is essential for our industrial zone. We wish the organisers of the Show the very best and we look forward to it.”

R.S. Kharb President, Govindpura Industries Association

Live Budget Discussion

Well attended by over 200 leading industrialists
Industries hail Clean India Show 2015 at Indore
Exclusive coverage in over 15 leading newspapers and news channels

Clean India Journal joined hands with Association of Industries Madhya Pradesh (AIMP) in organizing a live budget discussion at Fortune Landmark hotel in Indore on February 28 and brought the leaders from various industries in Madhya Pradesh, including Indore and nearby industrial clusters.

Launching the Clean India Show 2015 at the meet, which was attended by over 200 leading industrial houses, Clean India Journal in an informative presentation and interactive session emphasized the need for including cleaning as a part of every corporate budget plan. Industries hailed the forthcoming Clean India Show 2015 being organised for the first time in Indore at the Brilliant Convention Centre on April 16 and 17.

When the Central Government has earmarked a huge sum for cleanliness & hygiene and public health, it is time each industrial house/corporate house set aside a fixed amount for maintenance and facility management. Clean India Journal’s presentation touched upon the fact that a small amount for scientific cleaning will add to employee productivity and increase the bottom line manifold.

What is important is to understand the specific needs: dust control, machinery cleaning, concrete floor cleaning and polishing, best maintenance practices in food processing and drug manufacturing, high pressure jet cleaning for deep stains, etc.

The event provided the right platform for spreading awareness about the Clean India Show and about finding the right cleaning solutions for a variety of cleaning needs.

The event holds extensive significance, as the concept of mechanised cleaning in industrial facilities and their benefits are not yet fully understood in the region.

Many industries have come forward with their specific needs to Clean India Journal and are looking forward to solutions at the Clean India Show. cis-layout.mystagingwebsite.com
