More than 200 exhibitors from 24 countries, including major international brands and 25 new participants, have already registered for Texprocess 2026, which will take place from 21 to 24 April in Frankfurt. The event will highlight automation, digitalisation and AI, with exhibitors showcasing innovations designed to meet industry demands for efficiency, flexibility and resilience.

The strong registration figures confirm the importance of Texprocess as a global meeting point for textile processing technologies. Exhibitors include Barudan, Brother Internationale Industriemaschinen, Kornit Digital Europe, Macpi, Morgan Tecnica, Sheffield Cutting Equipment, Style 3D | Assyst, Veit, Vetron Typical Europe and Zünd. New exhibitors joining the event include Amann & Söhne, Avantex Software, Coats Group, Comelz, Cutting Edge Automation Machines, Humanetics Digital Europe, Mimaki Deutschland, Pathfinder Australia and Valvan.

“Numerous long-standing customers as well as many new exhibitors rely on Texprocess. This is a strong signal, as the leading trade fair offers them exactly what they need to position themselves for the future: global visibility and new contacts with decision-makers and industry experts,” said Olaf Schmidt, Vice President Textiles & Textile Technologies at Messe Frankfurt.

The industry is under pressure from tariffs, declining consumption, geopolitical uncertainties and investment restraint. Exhibitors will present solutions such as intelligent material flow systems, robot-assisted sewing units and AI-based quality control.

According to Elgar Straub, Managing Director of VDMA Textile Care, Fabrics and Leather Technologies: “Technological innovations are key to the future viability of apparel manufacturers and technical textile processors. At Texprocess 2026, exhibitors will once again set significant trends for the future, helping to strengthen their customers’ competitiveness.”

Texprocess also benefits from its parallel staging with Techtextil, ensuring high visitor crossover. At the last edition, 72% of Techtextil visitors also attended Texprocess. Together, the fairs cover the full spectrum of textile processing, from design, cutting and sewing to digital printing and finishing, attracting visitors from diverse sectors including apparel, footwear, protective clothing, home textiles, automotive and medical products.

Texprocess 2026 will run from 21 to 24 April in Frankfurt am Main.
