Texfusion 2023:

Texfusion 2023 takes place twice a year in March and October and has become an unmissable event for all the industry professionals.

Launched in 2014, the show attracts around 150 among the most important international manufacturers from China, Taiwan, India, Pakistan, Turkey, Bangladesh, South America and more. Texfusion 2023 has grown exponentially and now includes, beside the historical Fashion Fabrics and Accessories, 2 new hall completely dedicated to Technical Fabrics and Garment Manufacturers.

Texfusion 2023: The Show

Texfusion 2023 is one of the leading industry exhibition within the UK, catering exclusively for international textile and garment manufacturers. The show is held biannually (March-October) at the Business Design Centre and it counts around 150 non-European exhibitors at each edition

Texfusion concept is very simple: we provide each exhibitor with a single stand, chairs, table cloth, rails and a sign. We ensure that each and every exhibitor is promoted equally in this way and we don’t allow big banners on the floor. Whether a large or a small manufacturer, the modular format of single tables offers an equal opportunity for all.

All tables are selected via a lottery so there is no possibility of ordering a better position “it’s pot luck”. However, we are able within the lottery to put mills together with their agents, when this is possible. We extend this ethos to advertising and we produce an exhibition brochure where we don’t allow advertisement from exhibitors.

This simple system reflects the unbelievably low cost for a fair of this importance and our very strict ethos that all exhibitors should be on a level playing field.

Our Visitors:

The majority of our visitors are from the UK (about 90%) and comprise of some of the most influential buyers and designers from the major high-street retail stores as well as independent designers and buyers from their contract manufacturers.
