What it is

ITMA is the world trade fair for textile and garment manufacturing technology. It is owned by CEMATEX, the European association of textile machinery makers, and runs every four years. The 2027 edition returns to Hannover, with 20 product sectors from spinning to finishing, recycling and software, and the theme 'Co-creating the future of textiles'.

Who attends

Visitors are textile and garment manufacturers who source machinery, components, software and materials. The organizer reports over 111,000 visitors from 143 countries at ITMA 2023 in Milan, with Italy the largest source at 29%, followed by Turkey, India and Germany at 6% each. Exhibitors must be original technology manufacturers, so most sellers on the floor make machines or components.
