ISSA, the worldwide cleaning industry association, Northbrook, IL, has formed a partnership with Afidamp FAB, the Italian trade association for cleaning industry manufacturers. The groups will work together to develop programs for members and the global cleaning industry.

The collaboration is part of a larger international expansion strategy for both groups. ISSA and Afidamp will co-own the Pulire family of exhibitions and educational events as well as develop new programs to help connect members and share knowledge across the industry. ISSA members will receive a discount to exhibit at the Pulire Verona exhibition May 21-23, 2019, and all Afidamp FAB members will become members of ISSA and gain access to its full suite of member benefits.

The groups are also working on new and expanded events, including this year’s Pulire America Forum in Brazil, August 9-10, and an industry certification offering for the Italian market.
