INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION OF TEXTILE INDUSTRY.
From March 3 to 5, 2026, the 65th International Exhibition for Textile and Light Industry – TEXTILLEGPROM – will take over Pavilion 3, Hall 13 at the Crocus Expo International Exhibition Center. For 33 years, this event has stood as the largest and most significant B2B platform in Russia and the CIS for the entire textile value chain, offering an unrivalled opportunity to connect, contract, and discover the trends shaping the future of the industry.
A Multi-Sectoral Platform Under One Roof
TEXTILLEGPROM’s enduring strength lies in its comprehensive scope. It is a unique ecosystem where the entire production cycle is represented, creating a powerful synergy that accelerates partner discovery and shortens supply chains. The exhibition floor is meticulously organized into thematic sections, ensuring that every visitor can efficiently navigate the vast offering:

A Proven Track Record of Success
Building on the momentum of recent editions, the 65th TEXTILLEGPROM is poised to be a landmark event. The autumn 2025 exhibition attracted over 570 exhibitors and more than 31,000 visitors from 49 countries, underscoring the event’s role as a critical meeting point for the global industry. Organizers anticipate that the spring 2026 show, held in tandem with partner events like Techtextile, Textile Collection, CJF – Children’s Fashion, and Mir Detstva, will draw a record 45,000+ professional visitors.
The Business Program: Knowledge and Networking
TEXTILLEGPROM is far more than a marketplace; it is a dynamic business hub where knowledge meets practice. The extensive business program features scientific and practical conferences addressing the industry’s most pressing challenges, roundtable discussions with regulators and market leaders, and expert-led workshops and seminars on management, export strategies, and sustainable development. With over 10 zones and around 500 speakers expected, the 2026 program promises invaluable insights into the future of the industry.
Voices from the Industry: The Power of Partnership
The true value of TEXTILLEGPROM is best expressed by its participants, many of whom have built their businesses through the connections made at the exhibition.
Furkat Kayumov, General Director of FAIZA MARI TEX, has been a participant for four years and credits the show with his company’s growth: “Every time after the exhibition, we gain new clients. Usually, these are completely new orders, so we grow and improve together with new wholesale buyers while expanding our sales geography. TEXTILLEGPROM has significantly influenced our processes over the past year. After analyzing demand, we installed twisting equipment, and thanks to this exhibition our production is developing”.
For newcomers like Abdusamad Mavlyanov of NEFERTITI, the exhibition provided a crucial launchpad: “This was our first time participating as an independent company, and we wanted to make ourselves known. A key goal for us was to find new potential clients. We noticed there were many target visitors at the exhibition, particularly those interested in hotel supplies. We spoke with several hotel networks and hostel representatives… Since this was our first exhibition, we can say everything went great”.
Long-term participants also attest to the show’s enduring value. Marina Novikova, Deputy General Director of TRANSMETALL, explains: “We have been participating in the exhibition twice a year for the past 15 years. One positive aspect I want to highlight—and the reason why it is important for us to take part—is that it is held in the capital. It is much easier for our customers to come to Moscow than to travel further to Ivanovo. At this exhibition, we gather our dealers, hold meetings and discussions. For us, it is important to present new products, communicate, and maintain business relationships”.
Why TEXTILLEGPROM Matters
In a rapidly evolving global market, TEXTILLEGPROM offers an irreplaceable opportunity for direct engagement.

From March 3–5, 2026, the heart of the textile and light industry will be beating at Crocus Expo in Moscow. Whether you are a manufacturer seeking new clients, a designer sourcing materials, or a retailer looking to update your assortment, TEXTILLEGPROM is the one event where, in just three days, you can accomplish what usually takes months.
