World Conference on Fabric and Home Care in Montreux, Switzerland.
INCPA also unveiled a new web portal –

INCPA is a coalition of trade associations located in various regions of the world that represent cleaning product formulators, including Australia, Brazil, Canada, Europe, Japan, and the United States.

IHPCIA).
"Bringing the Mexican and Indian associations into the Network strengthens our ability to share information, expertise and knowledge on the key issues affecting the global cleaning product marketplace,” INCPA leaders said in a statement.
