Who should visit Heimtextil Uzbekistan, Texworld Tashkent and Apparel Sourcing Tashkent?
2026-10-02 09:14
On 12–14 October 2026, Uzexpocentre brings the entire textile value chain under one roof: from yarn and machinery to finished apparel and home textiles. This year will participate 250+ companies, 6,000+ trade visitors and 2,000+ buyers.
Why now. Uzbekistan's textile exports grew 20.1% in a year, and duties on blended fabrics are set to zero until 2028. The window is open — and the show is the best way to step through it.
Machinery — new for 2026: equipment for textile and garment production
Who will benefit:

Factory owners. For the first time, a dedicated machinery section. See new equipment and technology in action and talk to suppliers on the spot.
Buyers and sourcing managers. New factories, Private Label and contract manufacturing. Uzbekistan is one of the region's fastest-growing textile hubs, and the show is the shortest route to its producers.

Hotels, restaurants and clinics. Contract textiles for HoReCa: towels, bathrobes, table linen, uniforms — made to your specs.
