In the Textile exhibition space, visitors will be able to explore digital textile printing and garment decoration technologies for screen, direct-to-garment (DTG), direct-to-film (DTF), transfer printing, dye sublimation and roll-to-roll textile printing. Confirmed exhibitors include leading manufacturers of print-on-demand production (POD) and high-volume textile printing and garment decoration, such as: B-Flex Italia, Brother Internationale, Chemica, Coldenhove, EPSON, Forever Digital Transfer, Hotronix, Klieverik, Kornit Digital, Melco International, Mimaki, Monti Antonio S.p.A, M&R Printing Equipment, Inc, Polyprint, ROQ International, STAHLS', Tajima Europe and ZSK.

The exhibitor line-up also includes screen printing solutions like: Anatol, CST GmbH, Easiway, Exile Technologies and Saati Iberica.

Suppliers will also exhibit textile inks and materials that support colour performance, durability and more sustainable business operations. Exhibitors of these solutions include: Afford Inks, Colvas-Turan Kimya, Kingmo Colors, MICC Coatings, Splashjet Inkjet Ink and Sun Chemical.

In addition, solutions for workflow efficiency, colour management and production will be showcased by brands such as: Crea8iveSkill, DRAWstitch International, Embodee.com, Fiery and Fulfill Engine.

Callum Legg, Group Sales and Project Manager, FESPA, comments: “Textile printing and garment decoration is one of the most dynamic growth areas across the speciality print sector. In light of this, we’ve developed our new event – comprising a strong line-up of exhibitors and a dedicated conference programme – to provide our community with access to textile-related technologies, expertise and applications that can benefit their businesses. We look forward to seeing and supporting members of our community in Barcelona!”

Debbie McKeegan, CEO of Texintel and FESPA’s Textile Ambassador, adds: “FESPA Textile is providing a vital platform for the conversations that actually matter. We must confront the immediate challenges facing textile printers, whilst examining exactly how technology is being applied in the here and now. More importantly, we need to understand how these innovations - and the trends driving them - will fundamentally reshape the manufacturing landscape for printed fashion, sportswear, furnishings, and interiors in the years to come. Together we will define our industry's future.”

While at the show, visitors to Textile can also attend ‘The Conference’ for free, which will cover intelligent production and customisation.

With their ticket to Textile, visitors will have access to all co-located events, taking place as part of FESPA 2026, as well as the two other conference programmes centred around corrugated and wrapping.
