Heimtextil will begin in Frankfurt, Germany from January 7 to 10, 2020. This trade fair for home and contract textiles has attracted nearly 3,000 companies from 65 countries and regions. More than 600 Chinese companies from various sub sectors are attending the fair. Chinese companies have their own strengths, particular in design and fabric research and development. While many Chinese exhibitors at the fair are manufacturers, Chinese design studios have also started to have a bigger presence at Heimtextil.

This year Heimtextil has included a new area which showcases innovative and even progressive choices of raw materials for textile. In this section, textiles made from pineapple leaf, seaweed and even PET bottles and human hair are being exhibited.

International manufacturers rely on Heimtextil as an attractive platform for export business and as a trendsetting launch event where they can present their new season products at the start of the year. The exhibition has a space which sees exhibits from around 250 international textile designers. Manufacturers of machines for digital printing and textile processing are presenting their innovations. The trade fair is also presenting furnishing solutions and specialist offers specifically aimed at contract furnishing. It offers interior designers, architects and hospitality experts a business and networking forum.
