For the first time, the carpet offering will span four levels, occupying Halls 11.0, 11.1, 12.0, and 3.0. Alongside this expansion, the introduction of Flooring & Equipment in Hall 12.0 brings non-textile floor coverings into the mix, consolidating Heimtextil as a comprehensive platform for textile and non-textile floor solutions.
Industry leaders have already confirmed their presence. Hall 12.0 will host global players in the machine-woven carpet sector, including Balta (Belgium), Hanse Home Collection (Germany), Lalee (Germany), Merinos (Turkey), and the Oriental Weavers Group with Oriental Weavers, MAC Carpet, and EFCO (Egypt). Ragolle Rugs (Belgium) and Universal XXI (Spain) will also present their latest collections. A highlight will be Belgian Textiles by Fedustria, showcasing the finest carpets from Belgium's heritage-rich industry.
Hand-woven carpets will take center stage in Hall 11.0, with Indian exhibitors such as Hafizia Arts & Craft, Himalaya Concepts, Rugs INC., and The Rug Republic. Hall 11.1 will feature joint stands from China and India, including the Carpet Export Promotion Council and the Handloom Export Promotion Council. In Hall 3.0, DecoTeam and the Design Lounge will bring together established brands such as Paulig Teppichweberei, Infloor-Girloon, Otto Golze & Söhne, Theko, and Tisca.
A new Future Floor area in Hall 12.0 will provide tailored content for industry professionals. This curated showcase will highlight sustainable materials, innovative designs, and forward-looking production methods. Expert talks, networking formats, and guided tours will give visitors direct access to the latest insights and trends.
"With the Carpets & Rugs offering more extensive than ever, Heimtextil 2026 goes a step further by also providing a platform for Flooring & Equipment. Together, the two ranges complement each other perfectly and reflect the holistic future of the industry," says Bettina Bär, Director of Heimtextil.
