ISSA, the worldwide cleaning industry association, is pleased to announce the acquisition of the INCLEAN brand—including the flagship print publications INCLEAN Magazine and INCLEAN NZ magazine—from The Intermedia Group Pty Ltd.

For over 30 years INCLEAN Magazine has been the only dedicated cleaning and hygiene magazine in the Australian and New Zealand markets. It has stood as a pillar for delivering need-to-know information to contracted and in-house service providers, product distributors, and manufacturers.

The Intermedia Group has been contracted to manage the publications and their quality mix of digital, print, online, and social media products. Claire Hibbit will continue to manage the editorial of the INCLEAN brand as editor and Samantha Ewart will remain as national sales manager at the Intermedia office in Glebe, Australia.

The INCLEAN publications and digital outlets will remain focused on high-quality, impartial coverage of the professional cleaning industry in Australia and New Zealand.

ISSA is also excited to announce that it has taken full ownership of the ISSA Cleaning and Hygiene Expo. In 2017, event partners ISSA and Interpoint Events (the event arm of The Intermedia Group) came together to produce and promote a single exhibition experience to all end-user buyers, including building service contractors, contract cleaners, carpet and restoration technicians, and in-house executives working in healthcare, hospitality, retail, government, industry, and education. 

Over the past three years, the Expo has continued to experience year-on-year growth and momentum, with the 2019 show drawing 3,446 attendees. For more information, visit www.issa.com.

Interpoint Events will continue to manage the operational and logistical side of the ISSA Cleaning and Hygiene Expo, with Ewart remaining as national sales manager for the show.
