Strong prospects for the global carpet industry: Carpets & Rugs grows again at the upcoming Heimtextil. The carpet segment is moving to the larger Halls 11.0 and 12.0. Due to high demand, it additionally expands to Hall 11.1. Together with Hall 3.0, Carpets & Rugs covers four levels for the first time. Flooring & Equipment in Hall 12.0 complements the range with non-textile floor coverings. Heimtextil thus consolidates its role as the leading global platform for the entire textile and non-textile floor covering industry.
Global industry leaders have confirmed their participation: In Hall 12.0, key players in the machine-woven carpet sector exhibit, including Balta (Belgium), Hanse Home Collection (Germany), Lalee (Germany), Merinos (Turkey), Oriental Weavers Group with Oriental Weavers, MAC Carpet and EFCO (Egypt), Ragolle Rugs (Belgium) as well as Universal XXI (Spain). A highlight: the area Belgian Textiles by Fedustria. Together with its members, the association is presenting the high-end products of the Belgian carpet industry.
For the first time, floor coverings without a textile structure complement the range. “The two ranges complement each other perfectly – as our exhibitors reflect: some carpet companies showcase mixed collections with non-textile floor coverings. This is in line with the holistic approach of Heimtextil 2026. The Carpets & Rugs offering is more extensive than ever. We are now taking a step further by also providing a platform for Flooring & Equipment”, says Bettina Bär, Director Heimtextil.
