High registration numbers and a significant influx of new exhibitors signal a strong Techtextil and Texprocess 2026. Taking place from 21 to 24 April 2026, the two leading trade fairs will serve as global platforms for showcasing innovations in materials, technologies, and sustainability. Exhibitors aim to explore new markets, establish business partnerships, and navigate industry challenges, and with an optimised hall layout and the introduction of new product groups, the event is set to deliver ideal conditions for exhibitors and visitors alike.

Despite economic pressures such as recession, sustainability requirements, and geopolitical uncertainties, industry players continue to focus on innovation. Techtextil and Texprocess are recognised as the foremost platforms for presenting cutting-edge material concepts, efficient processes, and sustainable solutions. The surge in exhibitor interest underscores a strategic push for global positioning and market expansion. Alongside established industry leaders, an exceptionally high number of new exhibitors will be present in 2026.

“The outstanding level of bookings shows that the industry is seeking global visibility more than ever,” says Sabine Scharrer, Director Brand Management Technical Textiles & Textile Processing at Messe Frankfurt. “Techtextil and Texprocess offer the perfect environment to forge partnerships, drive innovation, and tap into market opportunities. The strong registration status promises a successful event in April 2026, reinforcing the growth strategy of both leading trade fairs.”

Texprocess 2026 will provide a global stage for textile and flexible material processing solutions. Exhibitors across all product segments, including cutting, sewing, and finishing, have confirmed their participation.

Among them are Brother Internationale Industriemaschinen, Gütermann (Germany), Morgan Tecnica (Italy), Robotech (Turkey), Sheffield Cutting Equipment (USA), Style3D | Assyst, Veit, and Zünd Germany. Newcomers such as Amann (Germany), Coloreel (Sweden), Comelz, Cutting Edge Automation Machines (Italy), and Pathfinder Australia will also take part. With automation, digitalisation, and artificial intelligence driving efficiency, exhibitors will showcase solutions that cater to the evolving demands of the international market.

Techtextil 2026 is experiencing equally strong booking interest. Confirmed exhibitors include Concordia Textiles (Belgium), Groz-Beckert (Germany), Klopman International (Italy), Kolon Industries (Korea), Lenzing, Sattler Pro-Tex (Austria), Sioen (Belgium), and Schill+Seilacher (Germany). The event has also attracted many new participants, such as Dystar Singapore, Indorama Ventures Fibers Germany, Monteiro Ribas (Portugal), TreeToTextile (Sweden), and Woolmark (Germany). Techtextil covers the full spectrum of technical textiles and nonwovens, bringing suppliers together with buyers from various industries, including automotive and apparel.

For the first time, Hall 9.0 will feature a dedicated Textile Chemicals & Dyes section, already proving highly popular. The newly introduced Performance Apparel Textiles area in Hall 9.0 has also garnered strong interest, creating valuable synergies by co-locating with the Fibres & Yarns section. Additionally, its proximity to Texprocess in Hall 8.0 enhances accessibility for the apparel industry.
