Heimtextil 2026: Global Hub for Carpets & Flooring

Heimtextil is set to strengthen its position as the world’s most important hub for the carpet industry by 2026. The Carpets & Rugs segment continues to expand, now moving into the larger Halls 11.0 and 12.0, with further growth into Hall 11.1 due to strong demand. Together with Hall 3.0, Carpets & Rugs will occupy four levels for the first time. The Flooring & Equipment section in Hall 12.0 will add non-textile floor coverings, further consolidating Heimtextil as the global platform for both textile and non-textile flooring solutions.

Hall 12.0 will feature global leaders in machine-woven carpets, including Balta (Belgium), Hanse Home Collection (Germany), Lalee (Germany), Merinos (Turkey), Oriental Weavers Group with Oriental Weavers, MAC Carpet and EFCO (Egypt), Ragolle Rugs (Belgium), and Universal XXI (Spain). A highlight will be the Belgian Textiles showcase by Fedustria, presenting premium carpet products. For the first time, non-textile floor coverings will complement traditional collections. “The two ranges complement each other perfectly – as our exhibitors reflect: some carpet companies showcase mixed collections with non-textile floor coverings. This is in line with the holistic approach of Heimtextil 2026. The Carpets & Rugs offering is more extensive than ever. We are now taking a step further by also providing a platform for Flooring & Equipment,” stated Bettina Bär, Director Heimtextil.

Hall 11.0 will be dedicated to hand-woven carpets, highlighting quality offerings from Indian companies such as Hafizia Arts & Craft, Heritage Overseas, Himalaya Concepts, Javi Home, Looms & Knots, Maurya International, Nirmal International, Rugs INC., Teppiche de Orienta, and The Rug Republic. Hall 11.1 will feature joint stands from China and India, including participants from the Carpet Export Promotion Council and the Handloom Export Promotion Council.

In Hall 3.0, leading exhibitors will showcase collections as part of the DecoTeam and Design Lounge powered by DecoTeam. Featured companies include Paulig Teppichweberei with its Haro brand, Infloor-Girloon, Otto Golze & Söhne, Theko with brands Sansibar Sylt, Tom Tailor and Natur Pur, as well as Tisca (Germany).

A new highlight, the Future Floor area in Hall 12.0, will serve as a hub for knowledge exchange and networking. It will spotlight sustainable innovations, new materials, and cutting-edge designs. Expert talks, trend insights, and guided tours will further enrich the visitor experience.

Heimtextil will run from 13 to 16 January 2026 in Frankfurt am Main.
