In its upcoming edition, Heimtextil plans to shift its Carpets & Rugs section to new, larger halls to accommodate growing demand and strengthen its position as the premier international platform for both textile and non-textile floor coverings.
The Carpets & Rugs segment will be shifted to the spacious Halls 11.0 and 12.0, with an additional expansion into Hall 11.1. Along with its presence in Hall 3.0, this move indicates the expansion of the carpet and rug section across four levels for the first time. The new Flooring & Equipment area in Hall 12.0 will complement the textile offerings with non-textile floor coverings, reflecting a more holistic approach to the industry.
Bettina Bär, Director, Heimtextil, states, the two ranges complement each other perfectly. The Carpets & Rugs offering is more extensive than ever, and the organizers are also providing a platform for Flooring & Equipment.
The event has already secured participation from global industry leaders. Hall 12.0 will feature key players in the machine-woven carpet sector, including Balta, Hanse Home Collection, Lalee, Merinos, and Oriental Weavers Group. A special highlight will be the ‘Belgian Textiles by Fedustria’ area that will showcase high-end products from Belgium’s top carpet manufacturers.
Designated for hand-woven carpets, Hall 11.0 will host high-quality Indian companies like Hafizia Arts & Craft, Javi Home, and The Rug Republic. Joint stands from China and India, including participation from the Carpet Export Promotion Council, will be located in Hall 11.1. In Hall 3.0, renowned brands like Paulig Teppichweberei and Theko will exhibit their collections.
The new ‘Future Floor’ area in Hall 12.0 will offer customized content for the flooring and carpet industry. This space will highlight a curated selection of sustainable and innovative products. A Talk Spot will feature experts discussing the latest carpet trends, and guided tours will be available to key exhibits.
This strategic expansion and enhanced focus on both textile and non-textile floor coverings ensure that Heimtextil 2026 will create a unique and comprehensive offering for the entire global floor covering industry.
