Organized by Iteca Exhibitions Group, CAITME 2026 Tashkent is a UFI-accredited B2B professional textile machinery fair, the largest full-chain textile equipment exhibition across Central Asia and CIS countries, founded in 2026 and held annually at Uzexpocentre NEC. Uzbekistan is one of the world’s major cotton producers; textile manufacturing is its pillar industry, with over 6,000 local textile mills in urgent need of equipment modernization. Covering an exhibition space of 12,000 sq.m., the show gathers more than 210 global machinery suppliers with national pavilions from China, Turkey, Germany, Italy and South Africa. The previous edition welcomed over 6,000 qualified trade buyers, including factory owners and purchasing managers from Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Russia, Azerbaijan and other CIS & Central Asian nations. Exhibits include spinning & twisting machines, circular knitting looms, weaving equipment, digital sublimation & textile printing machines, washing & finishing machinery, sewing & cutting gear, textile chemicals, spare parts and automated production lines. On-site activities include Central Asia textile industry seminars, cross-border one-on-one buyer matching and live machinery demonstrations. It acts as the core trade platform for Chinese suppliers of textile machines, sublimation equipment and printing consumables to penetrate Central Asian and CIS markets.
