Russia’s Premier International Textile and Apparel Exhibition
Interfabric, Russia’s largest and most influential textile exhibition, will mark its 20th anniversary with the autumn 2026 edition. The event is scheduled to take place in September 2027, at the Crocus Expo International Exhibition Centre in Moscow.
A Biannual Industry Landmark
Interfabric is held twice annually and has established itself as Russia’s premier international exhibition for textile fabrics, apparel manufacturing, home textiles, technical textiles, and textile machinery. The exhibition serves as a strategic sourcing and networking platform for manufacturers, importers, wholesalers, retailers, designers, and textile professionals from Russia and neighbouring CIS countries.
Spring 2026 Edition: A Record-Breaking Start
The 19th edition, held in March 2026, demonstrated the exhibition’s growing significance. It brought together over 500 foreign exhibitors, including a record 167 Chinese companies — the largest foreign delegation at the event. Participants came from diverse Chinese regions including Hangzhou, Shanghai, Guangdong, Fujian, and Jiangsu provinces.
The spring edition was held under the motto “Textile Industry 2026: Course on Sovereignty”, reflecting a strategic focus on strengthening domestic capabilities and international partnerships. It featured a comprehensive business programme with over 30 thematic sessions across eight specialised salons: Fabric, TechTextile, TechMash, HomeTextile, Fashion, and Kids.
