Heimtextil 2026 To Emerge As Global Trade Hub For Carpets And Flooring
Heimtextil is set to strengthen its position as the world’s most important trade hub for the carpet and flooring industry. At the 2026 edition, the Carpets & Rugs segment will expand significantly, moving into the larger Halls 11.0 and 12.0, with Hall 11.1 added due to high demand.
