HOMETEX Istanbul

The "Home Textiles Exhibition", abbreviated as HOMETEX, is an internationally renowned trade fair for the home textile industry, held annually at the Istanbul Expo Center in Istanbul. The name HOMETEX represents a platform where new trends and innovations in the field of home textiles are showcased. This fair serves as a central meeting point for importers, exporters, manufacturers, and professionals from the industry to exchange information on the latest products and services.

The event is organized by the İstanbul Fuar Merkezi in cooperation with TETSIAD, the Turkish Association of the Home Textile Industry, and KFA Fuarcılık INC, supported by the Bursa Chamber of Commerce and Industry (BTSO). This collaboration highlights the importance of the fair as a crucial platform for both the Turkish and international home textile industries.

HOMETEX is dedicated to a variety of products, including curtains and curtain accessories, upholstery fabrics, bedroom textiles, towels and bath products, wall coverings, as well as kitchen and dining room textiles. Carpet and flooring materials, raw materials, and textile inputs are also presented. Innovative materials such as tulle, embroidery, and various wall coverings emphasize the dynamism and breadth of the home textile industry.

A special focus of the fair is on business meetings as well as seminars and conferences with experts, making HOMETEX not just a marketplace but also an important knowledge forum.

The fair attracts visitors from various sectors, including hospitality, healthcare, and even military facilities, highlighting its wide applicability and relevance across different areas.

The Istanbul Expo Center, the venue for the fair, is centrally located and easily accessible, making it an ideal location for an international event. HOMETEX thus offers a unique opportunity to delve deep into the world of home textiles and connect with leading experts from around the world. It reflects the cultural and economic dynamics of Istanbul and promotes international trade and exchange within the textile industry.
