Texprocess 2026 in Frankfurt

Texprocess 2026 will take place from April 21 to 24, 2026, at the Frankfurt Exhibition Center and is the leading international trade fair for the processing of textile and flexible materials. It will be held in parallel with Techtextil, giving visitors insights into the entire textile value chain, from fiber to end processing.

The focus is on the following main topics:

• Automation, robotics & Industry 4.0 in textile processing
• Digitalization, AI & process control in manufacturing
• Cutting, sewing, embroidery and finishing technologies
• Materials, coatings & smart textiles
• Sustainability, circular economy & resource efficiency

In 2024, around 1,700 exhibitors from 53 countries presented themselves to an international audience – with around 38,000 visitors from 102 countries, visitor numbers grew by 29% compared to the previous event. Strong booking figures are also reported for 2026: more than 200 companies from over 24 countries have already registered, many of them with new products and solutions in the fields of automation, digitalization, and AI.

Highlights include new hall structures, additional product areas, a focus on AI-supported innovations, and joint exhibition and visitor offerings with Techtextil, which facilitates cross-visits. Another key element is the Texprocess Innovation Award, which recognizes particularly advanced products and processes.
