Frankfurt am Main - February 23rd 2026– Techtextil has announced the launch of a dedicated Textile Chemicals & Dyes product segment for its 2026 edition, marking a significant evolution in how the industry connects and collaborates.
The new segment responds to growing demand from users and suppliers for a clearly structured, centralised platform that streamlines innovation and accelerates sustainable solutions.

Confirmed exhibitors include industry leaders such as Archroma from Switzerland, CHT and Rudolf from Germany, CTF2000 from Belgium, EMS-Chemie and Livinguard from Switzerland, and Icap - Sira Chemicals and Polymers, IMA and Novotex from Italy.
