INLEGMASH 2026, the International Exhibition for Textile and Garment Machinery, will take place on March 16–19, 2026, bringing together technologies that cover the full spectrum of textile and apparel manufacturing processes. As one of the industry’s longest-running trade events, first launched in 1970, the exhibition continues to serve as a key meeting point for manufacturers, technology providers, and production specialists. From raw material processing to finishing and packaging solutions, the event will showcase a comprehensive range of equipment and integrated technologies designed to enhance efficiency, automation, and product quality across the textile value chain.
INLEGMASH is organised as a strategic component of Russian Textile Industry Week, a comprehensive platform that brings together the country’s leading textile sector events under one umbrella. As part of the 2026 programme, the week will feature the following key exhibitions and industry gatherings:
- INLEGMASH 2026: An international exhibition of machinery and equipment for the textile and apparel manufacturing industry.
- 6th INLEGMASH Textile Machinery and Technology Conference: An academic and industry-focused platform dedicated to discussing sector innovations, emerging technologies, and future development trends.
- Technical Textiles Forum: A specialised forum and exhibition focused on technical textiles and nonwoven materials, highlighting advanced applications and innovative production solutions.
- Sewing Area: An interactive showcase dedicated to apparel manufacturing and advanced sewing technologies, featuring live demonstrations and practical production solutions.
According to last year’s figures, INLEGMASH hosted 163 exhibiting companies from 12 countries, presenting their latest machinery and production technologies, with participation expected to grow further in 2026. The 2025 edition attracted 7,300 professional visitors, and approximately 90 percent of the exhibition space was dedicated to live equipment and machine demonstrations. This hands-on format enables industry professionals to evaluate productivity-enhancing innovations in real operating conditions and gain practical insights into advanced manufacturing solutions.
As part of the exhibition programme, dedicated sections will be established to cover every stage of textile manufacturing, from material preparation to final processing solutions. The event will feature specialised thematic zones designed to address the needs of different production segments across the textile value chain. Key focus sectors include the following:
- Natural and synthetic fibre processing machinery,
- Spinning, weaving, and knitting technologies,
- Textile printing and dyeing systems,
- Technical textile and nonwoven production lines,
- Garment manufacturing, cutting, and sewing machinery,
- Industrial software solutions (CAD/CAE/CAM) and production automation systems.
For more than five decades, INLEGMASH has connected manufacturers, suppliers, and end users, positioning itself as a key entry point to the Russian market for international companies. Beyond machinery sales, the exhibition also integrates complementary services such as logistics support, financing and leasing solutions, and production facility design, offering industry professionals a comprehensive industrial ecosystem rather than a stand-alone equipment showcase.
