INLEGMASH 2026

International Exhibition for Equipment for the Textile and Garment Industry.

From March 16 to 19, 2026, the 25th International Exhibition of Equipment for the Textile and Light Industry – INLEGMASH – will open its doors at the Timiryazev Center (Vavilov Hall) in Moscow. Celebrating its silver anniversary, this landmark event stands as Russia’s premier platform for textile machinery, equipment, and technology, serving as an essential meeting point for manufacturers, suppliers, and industry professionals from across Eurasia.

A New Venue for a New Era

The 2026 edition marks a significant transition for INLEGMASH. After years at the Expocentre fairgrounds, the exhibition is relocating to the modern Timiryazev Center, specifically occupying the Vavilov Hall at Verkhnyaya Alley 6, building 1. This move represents a strategic upgrade for participants and visitors alike, offering enhanced infrastructure, convenient transport links, and a redesigned exhibition space designed to facilitate better business interactions.

Exhibition Schedule:

March 16–18: 10:00 – 18:00
March 19: 10:00 – 16:00

A Legacy of Industry Leadership

Founded in 1970, INLEGMASH has for more than half a century brought together manufacturers, suppliers, and users of textile and clothing manufacturing equipment from across the globe. The 2025 edition, held at Expocentre, celebrated its 55th anniversary and demonstrated the exhibition’s enduring relevance, featuring 170 companies from 12 countries across 3,700 square meters of exhibition space. International participation included companies from Austria, Germany, Denmark, India, Spain, Italy, China, South Korea, Russia, Turkey, Uzbekistan, and Japan, with China and Turkey organizing national pavilions.

Building on this momentum, the 25th anniversary edition in 2026 promises an even more comprehensive showcase of the industry’s latest technologies and innovations.

A Core Component of Russian Textile Week

INLEGMASH is not an isolated event. It serves as the cornerstone of the broader Russian Textile Week, a major industry congress and exhibition project that brings together professionals from across the textile value chain. Russian Textile Week 2026 will include four major industry-related events:

INLEGMASH 2026 – International Exhibition for Equipment for the Textile and Garment Industry
6th Edition of the INLEGMASH Textile Equipment and Technology Industry Conference
Specialized Exhibition and Forum on Technical Textiles
Interactive Space “Sewing Territory”

This strategic integration creates a powerful ecosystem where equipment manufacturers, raw material suppliers, garment producers, and industry experts can connect, share knowledge, and forge partnerships.

Industry Context: A Moment of Transformation

INLEGMASH 2026 takes place against a backdrop of significant structural change in the Russian textile market. Recent geopolitical developments have reshaped the industry landscape, with numerous European and American clothing brands withdrawing from the Russian market. In response, the Russian government has committed to vigorously promoting domestic textile and clothing manufacturing, implementing an import substitution policy that actively supports local producers through subsidies and incentives.

Under the “2020-2025 Development Strategy” formulated by Russia’s Ministry of Industry and Trade, Russia aims to raise the production of domestic clothing and footwear to 50% of total output by the end of 2035. This ambitious target creates substantial opportunities for manufacturers of textile equipment and technology providers.

Oleg Bocharov, Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation, emphasizes the strategic importance of the exhibition: “Given the changes in many processes within the textile and clothing industry due to today’s economic reality, this exhibition offers a unique opportunity for professionals and end consumers to understand new trends, technological developments and innovations, design solutions, and current proposals for alternative imports”.

Building Bridges: Recent Industry Engagement

The INLEGMASH team has been actively promoting the 2026 exhibition at key industry events. On November 20, 2025, a delegation from INLEGMASH participated in the Bee-Fashion Forum (BFF) in Moscow, a professional platform for dialogue between fashion market representatives, the production sector, and the digital environment. The forum brought together over 370 visitors, including designers, retailers, brand owners, marketplace representatives, investors, and technology companies.

During the event, the INLEGMASH delegation engaged with companies from Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Bangladesh, Belarus, and numerous Russian regions, including the Central Federal District, Siberia, Karachay-Cherkessia, Krasnodar Krai, and Vladimir and Ryazan Oblasts. They also connected with 60 manufacturers from Uzbekistan, 24 enterprises from Kyrgyzstan, and 48 participants from China, spreading awareness of INLEGMASH 2026 and its role within Russian Textile Week.

Key topics discussed at the forum resonated strongly with INLEGMASH’s mission, including:

Digital transformation of fashion business and technologies for 2025
International cooperation with suppliers from China and contract manufacturing in CIS countries
Building an integrated ecosystem where every channel strengthens the others
