A wider representation of countries than ever before will participate in Texworld Apparel Sourcing Paris which takes place at the Paris-Le-Bourget exhibition centre from February 10-12.

More than 1,200 weavers and garment makers are expected in Halls 2, 3 and 4 of the exhibition centre for this first edition in 2025. The return to a redesigned space marks a new chapter in the visitor experience and a true reflection of the diversity of global sourcing, with creative ranges at competitive prices for the fashion industries.

Alongside the Top Five weaving nations loyal to Texworld – Chiuna, Turkey, India, South Korea and Taiwan – alternative country sourcing zones including Malaysia, Singapore, the United Kingdom, Vietnam, the Netherlands and Egypt will enrich the show. Dutch exhibitors Quality Textile, Nooteboom and Verhees Textiles are also returning.

In the knitwear sector, South Korean specialists at the event include JK Tex, ONK, TL Corporation and W-Tex, while the denim sector is growing with around thirty exhibitors including some of the world’s leading names such as Winwin Textile from China and Bangladeshi supplier NZ Denim.

With more than 500 finished product companies taking part, this section of the show is led by manufacturers from China, India, Pakistan and Bangladesh, who will be joined by a hub of companies from Ethiopia, Rwanda  and the Arise Integrated Industrial Platform, which brings together the expertise of garment manufacturers based in Togo, Benin and Gabon. Ukraine returns with five companies supported by its national textile association, adding to the Euromed offering from Foursource, Messe Frankfurt’s near sourcing partner presenting catalogues from companies in Eastern Europe, Portugal and Morocco.

Three exhibitor itineraries have been designed by the Messe Frankfurt France team to meet visitor needs. The Econogy Finder trail, for example, enables visitors to find more than 80 suppliers of sustainable textiles, listed in the show app and indicated by the Econogy logos visible on the corresponding booths. The Small Quantity itinerary highlights the more than 200 suppliers able to offer small quantity production (less than 300 pieces for garments or less than 100 metres for fabrics). The Hand Made itinerary identifies the more than 130 exhibitors whose catalogues feature authentic, handmade products or unique skills. These manufacturers can also be found directly on the fair’s online directory.
