The technical and nonwoven textile industry's irreplacable event
In the European textile industry, there is no international exhibition more important than Techtextil Frankfurt. This great event gives professionals the chance to experience the trends in machinery and textiles in their full breadth. It is also the perfect platform for brands to showcase their solutions in this field and generate sales leads.
The exhibition has been pushing the envelope for cutting-edge innovations since 1986 and Techtextil Frankfurt fully embraces the entire value chain.
The product portfolio includes functional apparel textiles, composites, coated textiles, nonwovens, laid webs, bondtec, fibers, yarns, woven fabrics, braidings, knitted fabric, technologies and processes, accessories, and research and development. Techtextil Frankfurt allows you to tap into the pulse of the industry and where it’s headed.
Major topics from the last few editions circle around ideas concerning automatization and sustainability. One of the biggest barometers for future trends is, of course, the Techtextil Innovation Award.

Professionals in the technical textiles and nonwoven sector can experience the full breadth of innovations during Techtextil Frankfurt 2026 from 21.04.2026 until 24.04.2026 at Messe Frankfurt in Frankfurt, Germany. The event will once again coincide with the 2026 edition of Texprocess.

Techtextil Frankfurt arrives in the city of Frankfurt, Germany every two years in the late spring, as editions usually take place around the start of May. The international exhibition shares the stage with the related Texprocess at Messe Frankfurt for a total of four days, which also serves as the official organiser for the event.
Techtextil Frankfurt is open only to trade visitors and working hours are scheduled between 09:00 am until 18:00 pm on the first three days and until 17:00 pm on the closing day.
The good news is that you don’t need to rent a car for a quick commute. Messe Frankfurt is frequently serviced by all kinds of public transport and you are spoiled for choice. The fastest way is to catch line 4 of the metro, but you also have three suburban train lines and two tram lines.
Techtextil Frankfurt is an exhibition that continues to grow in size and scale, so this is reflected in the number of exhibitors. The last edition registered over 1500 exhibitors, while audience numbers broke the 52,000 mark. This makes Techtextil Frankfurt the perfect environment to seek better market positions to move products off shelves.
Even better for those who wish to roll out their brands to international markets, the audience is 63% made of foreign nationals. The scope is certainly wide enough covering most of Europe and also extending to countries like China, USA, Pakistan, Korea, Sri Lanka, Nepal, the United Arab Emirates, Morocco, and Tunisia.
Techtextil 2022
Techtextil 2022 was held in conjunction with Texprocess 2022 and the Heimtextil Summer Special. The events signified the successful restart of the global textile industry following a pause caused by Covid-19. The Forums, Special Show, and Innovation Awards were among the highlights. Because of the high-quality support programme and various opportunities, 91 percent of the visitors were delighted with their participation in the events. The events were hosted as hybrid expos at Messe Frankfurt between the 21st and 24th of June 2022. They received approximately 63,000 visitors and 2,300 exhibitors from 117 nations. Because the country removed the corresponding national regulations in April 2022, the venue did not include rigorous Covid-19 safety precautions.
Techtextil 2024
Techtextil Frankfurt 2024 coincided with Texprocess Frankfurt 2024. The events were held as live trade fairs between the dates 21.04.2024 and 24.04.2024 in Messe Frankfurt. The editions featured a 29% increase in visitor attendance due to 38,000 visitors from 102 countries attending. They overviewed the wares of 1,700 exhibitors from 52 nations. 75% of the visitors were top executives and 95% of the group was pleased with their participation in the events.
What are people saying?
“We were thoroughly inundated on the very first day, particularly with international visitors. On top of our already high proportion of existing customers, we got lots of new contacts during the course of the trade fair,” said Dr. Günther Gradnig, Managing Director at Sattler Pro-Tex GmbH;
“The nice thing about Techtextil is that the visitors you meet are 100 percent specialists. The discussions we have had have been exclusively on a technical level – and a very high level at that. At the end of the day, this provides the foundation of good business,” said Jörg Perwitzschky, Director of Marketing at Bayern Innovativ;
“We had loads of people at our stand, who were looking for specific things, including many well-known brands such as Alpha Tauri, Mammut, North Face, and Tommy Hilfiger,” said Hendrikus van Es, Head of Protection Textiles at Schoeller Textil AG;
“Visitors came from all over the world, from the USA, Pakistan, Asia, even Columbia. We are fantastically satisfied with the show,” said Jan Cees van Baaren, Sales Manager at YKK;
