FRANKFURT AM MAIN, January 15. /Dunyo IA/.  “Heimtextil-2026”, the world’s largest and most influential trade fair for the textile industry, has officially opened in one of Germany’s leading economic capitals, reports Dunyo IA correspondent.

Organised with the support of Uzbekistan’s diplomatic missions in Frankfurt am Main and Berlin, in cooperation with the Agency for the Development of the Light Industry, the Uzbekistan national stand is designed to attract prospective international partners. It offers companies and visitors from across the globe a strong impetus for cooperation with Uzbekistan’s leading textile manufacturers.

All have arrived in Frankfurt am Main to participate under the unified national brand “Made in Uzbekistan”, highlighting the country’s growing industrial capacity and export-oriented textile sector.

In addition, representatives of major German companies and leading media organisations attended the exhibition as visitors. The event provided participants with an opportunity to review detailed presentation materials highlighting the current capacity and long-term development plans of Uzbekistan’s textile sector, while also facilitating discussions aimed at concluding mutually beneficial agreements for the export of Uzbek textile products to the German market.

International participants showed strong interest in Uzbekistan’s offerings, particularly noting the competitive balance between price and quality of Uzbek knitwear. Many foreign counterparts expressed readiness to establish long-term partnerships, underscoring growing confidence in Uzbekistan as a reliable partner in the global textile industry.

Deputy Chairman of the “MÜSIAD Hessen e.V.” Entrepreneurs’ Association and Director of the German company “StarkLegal”, shared his impressions in an interview with Dunyo Information Agency:

- It is a great pleasure for me to once again attend the Made in Uzbekistan exhibition. Each year, Uzbekistan showcases the quality and refinement of its textile products, which occupy a distinctive place in the global textile industry. Beyond this, Uzbekistan is a country with a rich and fascinating historical and cultural heritage. I have visited your country twice, and it holds a very special place in my heart. The importance of Uzbekistan’s ongoing reforms, noting that the development of a solid legal framework for business, the leadership’s clear commitment to further economic growth and the country’s openness to attracting new investors are already delivering tangible and positive results.
