182 Turkish companies on the Heimtextil 2027 exhibitor list

With less than two months to go before Heimtextil opens in Frankfurt on 12–15 January 2027, the place of Turkish home textile manufacturers at the fair is taking shape in the official exhibitor directory. As of 9 November 2026, 182 of the 2,425 exhibitors listed in Messe Frankfurt's online directory have a Turkish address. Messe Frankfurt has said the fair will host around 2,900 exhibitors in total; as directory entries are updated until the fair, the figures may still change. The final picture will become clear with the figures Messe Frankfurt publishes after the event.

In the same directory, Turkey ranks fourth by number of registered exhibitors, after China (853), India (443) and Pakistan (263). Germany has 111 registered exhibitors and Egypt 30. This ranking reflects Heimtextil's role as a sourcing fair that connects Asian manufacturers with European buyers. For Turkish companies, it means presenting their geographic proximity to the European market in the same halls as Asian producers.

By registered address, two textile centres stand out. Of the 182 companies, 70 are based in Bursa, 52 in Denizli and 34 in Istanbul; two out of every three Turkish exhibitors come from Bursa or Denizli. They are followed by Gaziantep (8), Izmir and Usak (4 each), Kayseri (3), Kocaeli and Tekirdag (2 each), with one company each from Hatay, Sakarya and Samsun. The Denizli Exporters Association is also listed as a separate exhibitor in Hall 5.1.

By hall, Turkish companies are most concentrated in Hall 4.1, with 48 companies. Messe Frankfurt describes the Decorative & Furniture Fabrics section in Halls 3.1 and 4.1 as the world's largest offering of upholstery and decorative fabrics. Halls 5.0 and 5.1, home to Bed, Bath & Living, list 30 and 28 Turkish companies respectively. Hall 3.1, where upholstery and decorative fabrics are shown next to machine-made carpets, has 25, and Hall 3.0, which brings together window, wall and floor concepts, has 24. Hall 4.0, with smart bedding and sleep systems, has 16 Turkish exhibitors, and Hall 4.2, home to textile design studios, has 12.

Of the 149 Turkish exhibitors that have entered a product group in the directory, 46 are listed under curtains, 40 under towelling, 40 under decorative or upholstery fabrics and 23 under bed linen; a company can appear in more than one group. The list also includes manufacturers of artificial leather (5), fibres and yarns (7) and duvets, pillows and mattresses (6). Turkish exhibitors in the directory include Menderes Tekstil and Ozdilek Ev Tekstil (Hall 5.1), Elvin Tekstil and Vanelli Tekstil (Hall 4.1), Kucukcalik Tekstil (Hall 3.0) and Merinos Hali (Hall 3.1). Merinos was also named among the leading exhibitors of the carpet section in Messe Frankfurt's announcement of 14 October.

The 2027 layout of the fair includes new features in areas where Turkish manufacturers are strong. According to Messe Frankfurt, the "Comfort & Connect" area in the foyer of Hall 5.1 will bring together bed and bath textiles, decorative cushions and home accessories. The carpet section has been reorganised by sales channel, and the jury-selected "Carpets & Rugs Excellence" area opens for the first time in Hall 11.0. The Interior.Architecture.Hospitality section for contract and hotel projects will feature the new "Functional Futures Lab" exhibition. Heimtextil 2027 takes place at the Frankfurt exhibition centre from 12 to 15 January 2027.
