Car Wash Show Europe is returning to the RAI in Amsterdam 25 − 27 September 2017, building on the success enjoyed during the initial show in 2015.
Created as the only European event for car wash entrepreneurs, Car Wash Show Europe brings car wash owners and equipment manufacturers together for a car wash-focused event.
“Every person who passes is a potential customer because we know they have something to do with the car wash,” said Flowey Export Manager Franco Florio.
The 2017 edition of Car Wash Show Europe has already sold more exhibit space than the 2015 show, which will provide even more opportunities for car wash owners and operators to see what’s new and exciting in the industry.
According to International Carwash Association CEO Eric Wulf, Car Wash Show Europe expects more than 3,000 participants from nearly 80 countries. “The European market responded well to our initial offering in 2015 and is responding well to our current show too,” Wulf said. “We’ve sold more exhibit space than 2015, and we’re excited about the potential for continued growth with this event and what it will do for car wash businesses.”
The always popular car wash tours, held the day before the show opens, will be held again this year, but with new locations to visit. During the 2015 show, visitors were able to visit four distinct wash locations to gather real-world ideas to take back to their business.
Tom Miller, owner of The Car Wash Companies, brought design inspiration, and even equipment, back from his visit to the 2015 show. “From touring operations like BOB Autowas and Loogman, we began incorporating graphics on a larger scale while taking into consideration when less is more through use of intentional negative space in our design,” Miller said. “We also brought back a Holz entrance arch and stainless-steel monument sign or our new location in Plano.”
In addition to the tours and the show floor, there are several education seminars included with visitor registration. This year, all seminars will be held on the show floor.
One seminar you won’t want to miss is the launch of ICA’s European Car Wash Consumer Study. Similar to the study that ICA has conducted in the United States since 1996, the study will provide insight into the consumer’s car wash habits.
