Heimtextil – the leading trade fair for home and contract textiles – will continue with its international appeal. The show, to be held in Frankfurt during January 7-10, 2020, is likely to attract new participants from Europe and overseas. Overall, some 3000 exhibitors are expected to take part. In January 2019, 2714 companies from abroad were present.

“As before, we are seeing growth from other countries in Europe and overseas. International manufacturers rely on Heimtextil as an attractive platform for export business and as a trendsetting launch event where they can present their new season products at the start of the year,” says Olaf Schmidt, vice president Textiles and Textile Technologies at Messe Frankfurt.

For the 50th edition of Heimtextil, the international trade fair for home and contract textiles, there will once again be the world’s largest product range for textile interiors and globally unique trends. With ‘Wall Decoration’, Heimtextil presents the world's largest range of wallpapers and wall coverings. International highlights include the Grandeco Wallfashion Group from Belgium and Eijffinger from the Netherlands. Among the German companies to be present at the trade fair are Erismann, Komar, Marburger Tapetenfabrik and Tapetenfabrik Gebr Rasch.

The exhibition will have a Trends Space which will see exhibits from around 250 international textile designers. Under the banner of “Textile Technologies”, manufacturers of machines for digital printing and textile processing will present their innovations.

The area provided for machines focusing on textile processing in particular will be expanded at the upcoming Heimtextil and gain new exhibitors, including ZSK Stickmaschinen from Germany and Joos sewing machines from the USA.

The “Decorative and Furniture Fabrics” segment will see around 40 new exhibitors such as Dickson Constant from France (with the brand Sunbrella), Leder Fiedler from Germany, Limonta and Maxpell from Italy as well as Morgan Fabrics from the USA. The trade fair will also present furnishing solutions and specialist offers specifically aimed at contract furnishing. It offers interior designers, architects and hospitality experts a business and networking forum.
