What CLEAN ROOM TECHNOLOGY does

Cleanroom Technology is a B2B trade media brand serving the global cleanroom industry. Operated by HPCi Media Limited (a Claverley Group subsidiary registered in England), the publication delivers a digital-first platform at cleanroomtechnology.com alongside a monthly print and digital magazine, covering contamination control, cleanroom design and build, HVAC, containment, monitoring, regulatory compliance (including EU GMP Annex 1), and personal protection across pharmaceutical, biotechnology, hi-tech manufacturing, semiconductor, and food verticals.

The product portfolio consists of the core website and magazine subscription product, two annual conferences (a UK edition co-located with Manufacturing Chemist Live and a Singapore edition at Marina Bay Sands targeting APAC), an online industry directory, an annual awards programme (Cleanroom Technology Awards), and a resource centre of technical papers and reports. Underlying technology is conventional digital media — a CMS-driven publishing platform with subscriber paywalls, email newsletters, and LinkedIn distribution.

The business model is a hybrid of subscription revenue (individual and team tiers with monthly billing, including discounted conference access), conference ticket sales (UK and Singapore events), and advertising/sponsorship from cleanroom vendors and suppliers. Distribution combines self-serve online subscription sign-up via hpcimedia.com with direct enterprise sales for team subscriptions and event sponsorships. The company maintains a very lean team (5 employees) and is wholly owned by the diversified Claverley Group.
