For over three decades, TEXTILLEGPROM has served as the Russian textile and light industry’s flagship event. More than just an exhibition, it is a comprehensive B2B platform that mirrors market dynamics, reveals key trends, and shapes the industry’s future. After 33 years, the event continues to unite manufacturers, suppliers, and buyers from across the entire production chain—from raw materials and equipment to finished garments and home textiles.
Event Overview
TEXTILLEGPROM takes place twice a year, with both spring and autumn editions. The upcoming 66th International Exhibition of Textile and Light Industry is scheduled for September 15-17, 2026, at the Crocus Expo International Exhibition Centre in Moscow (Pavilion 3, Hall 13).
Previous editions have demonstrated the event’s significant scale and growing influence. The 65th anniversary exhibition held in March 2026 attracted 11,700 professionals from 76 Russian regions and 39 countries, with 46.3% being first-time visitors—representing substantial potential buyers for exhibitors. The autumn 2025 edition brought together over 320 companies from 19 Russian regions and 16 countries, welcoming 15,223 specialists from 78 Russian regions and 49 countries.
The event is held with official support from key government bodies, including the Russian Ministry of Industry and Trade, the Ministry of Economic Development, and the Russian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs (RSPP).
A Comprehensive Showcase of the Industry
TEXTILLEGPROM is organized into six thematic sections, each reflecting a broad range of industry trends.
Textillegmash – Equipment and Technologies
This section showcases classic and advanced equipment for the garment, furniture, and automotive industries. Exhibitors display sewing and embroidery machines, template machines, cutting and wet-heat processing equipment, and solutions for production automation. Modern textile printing equipment, including DTF and DTG printers, sublimation, and label printers, are also prominently featured. The section has confirmed its status as the premier showcase for textile and light industry equipment and an effective platform for finding partners.
Technical Textiles, Nonwovens, Protective Clothing, and Raw Materials
Natural and chemical fibers, yarns, threads, dyes, and processing additives are displayed by key suppliers. The exhibition’s first display of raw material producers from Iran, including major synthetic polyester fiber manufacturers, attracted particular interest. This section plays a fundamental role in supporting the development of modern textile and light industry.
