The Texprocess is an internationally renowned trade fair specializing in the processing of textiles and flexible materials. It was initiated by Messe Frankfurt Exhibition GmbH. The name "Texprocess" is derived from a fusion of the terms "textile" and "process", which clearly emphasizes the fair's focus on technologies and processes in the textile and apparel industry. The fair takes place annually at the Congress Center of the Ethiopian Skylight Hotel in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. This venue, known for its modern architecture and top-notch facilities, attracts an international audience. The centerpiece of the fair includes various aspects of textile processing, encompassing new devices and systems, innovative techniques and services used in the manufacturing of clothing and the processing of textiles and flexible materials. Furthermore, the Texprocess demonstrates how technical textiles, clothing fabrics and flexible materials can be processed in a more efficient and environmentally friendly manner.

Exhibitors at the fair represent a broad range of industries, including textile manufacturing, clothing design and production, textile technology and engineering, as well as environmental technologies. The visitors mainly include representatives from the fields of textile and clothing manufacturing, purchasing, design and development. However, the Texprocess is more than just a fair: It serves as an important meeting point for decision-makers in the textile industry and provides an excellent platform for business and networking. In addition, various competitions are held and awards are given to promote innovation and excellence in the industry. Finally, it should be noted that the Ethiopian Skylight Hotel, with its modern infrastructure and excellent transport connections – it is only a few minutes away from Bole International Airport – provides the ideal setting for such a significant international event. With its aim to promote the connection between traditional craftsmanship and cutting-edge technology, the fair places special emphasis on sustainability and innovation to advance the textile and clothing industry.

The Texprocess will take place on 4 days from Friday, 08. November to Monday, 11. November 2024 in Addis Ababa.
