Texcare International in Frankfurt is the world's leading trade fair for professional textile care. The event focuses on technologies, services, and concepts for laundries, dry cleaners, textile rental companies, and textile logistics service providers. In a market characterized by growing demands for hygiene, sustainability, and efficiency, Texcare offers a central platform for presenting innovations, discussing industry trends, and promoting international exchange. Whether industrial laundries, care facilities, hotels, hospitals, or uniform service providers—anyone who washes, cleans, manages, or supplies textiles on a large scale will find answers to current challenges at this trade fair. Exhibitors and trade visitors from over 100 countries regularly make Frankfurt the center of the global textile care industry.
The trade fair shows how much the textile care sector has developed technologically in recent years. The focus is on modern washing lines, energy-efficient dryers, intelligent dosing systems, and software-supported operational control. Automation is a key topic: robotics solutions for sorting, folding, and packaging increase efficiency and reduce operating costs. Another key topic is digitalization: ERP systems, customer portals, RFID-based textile tracking, and cloud-based control enable transparent, secure, and customer-oriented process design. Hygiene also plays a central role—not only in the context of pandemics, but as a permanent quality feature in sensitive industries such as medicine, care, and catering. Anyone interested in other trade fairs at the location will find a comprehensive overview of relevant events in the fields of technology, textiles, and services at Frankfurt Trade Fair.
In hardly any other sector are ecology and economy as closely linked as in textile care. Water and energy savings, the use of environmentally friendly detergents, circular models for workwear, and durable textiles made from certified materials – the topic of sustainability runs through almost all areas of the trade fair. Many exhibitors are showcasing systems that recover energy from wastewater, reduce CO₂ emissions, or drastically cut packaging waste. New materials such as bio-based fibers or recyclable textile composites offer not only ecological advantages but also economic potential through extended product life cycles.
Texcare brings together all stakeholders in the industry – from machine manufacturers and chemical and textile producers to service providers for logistics, leasing, quality management, and digitalization. This holistic approach allows visitors to grasp the entire textile care process chain in a single visit to the trade fair and take away concrete solutions for their own business. The event offers ideal conditions for strategic discussions, establishing new business relationships, and international cooperation. Exhibitors particularly appreciate the high professional quality of the visitors, including many decision-makers and technical managers from medium-sized and large companies.
In addition to the product show, the conference program is a highlight of the trade fair. Lectures, discussion panels, and workshops will address current challenges facing the industry, such as the shortage of skilled workers, the digitization of ordering processes, hygiene certification, and sustainability reporting. With the “Texcare Forum” format, the trade fair offers a platform for international knowledge transfer, where experts from science, technology, consulting, and practice share their know-how. The exchange of information on regulatory issues, such as chemical regulations or environmental standards, also has a firm place here.
The long-term success of the industry also depends on well-trained skilled personnel. That is why Texcare specifically targets young people in training, university graduates, and career changers. With career formats, information events, and contact with professional associations, the trade fair makes an active contribution to securing skilled workers. Many companies use the trade fair specifically for employee training: they enable their teams to visit in order to learn about technical innovations, find out about developments, and gather inspiration for improvements in their own companies.
Frankfurt is an ideal location: its central location in Europe, excellent transport links, and the high international reach of the trade fair venue contribute significantly to the success of Texcare. Many trade visitors use the trade fair not only to initiate business, but also as a barometer for technological developments and market trends. The high density of relevant companies, training centers, and service providers in the surrounding area also creates a productive environment in which trade fair contacts can quickly be converted into concrete collaborations.
Texcare International is more than just a trade fair – it is the future forum for an industry that is repositioning itself between digitalization, ecological change, and a growing focus on services. Here, machines are not only displayed, but also experienced in operation. Here, trends are not only discussed, but also translated into solutions. Anyone thinking today about the textile care of tomorrow – efficient, ecological, and service-oriented – will find the best conditions for exchange, information, and new inspiration in Frankfurt.
