About Techtextil
Techtextil, Messe Frankfurt's international trade fair for technical textiles and nonwovens, returns to the Frankfurt exhibition grounds from Tuesday 4 to Friday 7 April 2028, alongside Texprocess, the fair for processing textiles and flexible materials.
The show covers fibres and yarns, technical textiles and nonwovens, coated textiles and composites, textile chemicals and dyes, performance apparel textiles and production machinery, used in everything from cars and aircraft to medicine, building and protective clothing. In 2026 the two fairs together drew more than 36,000 visitors and 1,700 exhibitors from 112 countries.
For 2028 the route runs across the western halls, from Hall 8.0 through Halls 12.0, 12.1, 11.0 and 9.0. The S-Bahn stops at Frankfurt (Main) Messe beside the Torhaus entrance, two stops from the Hauptbahnhof, so hotels across the city centre work well. This page shows live Frankfurt hotel rates for your dates; your fair ticket is bought separately from Messe Frankfurt.
Who attends
Trade visitors who make or use technical textiles and nonwovens, from car, aircraft and medical makers to fashion, building and protective clothing firms, plus research institutes.

How do you get to Techtextil?
From Frankfurt Airport (FRA)
- Take S-Bahn line S8 or S9 (towards Hanau or Offenbach Ost) to Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof, Messe Frankfurt says
- At the Hauptbahnhof, change to S3, S4, S5 or S6 to Frankfurt (Main) Messe, the second stop, for the Torhaus entrance
- By taxi from the airport you can go straight to the City/Festhalle, Galleria or Portalhaus entrance
- The S-Bahn and U-Bahn leave from the underground station at the Hauptbahnhof, so the change there is quick
By rail and road
- Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof is only a few hundred metres from the Messe, according to Messe Frankfurt, and a walk of about ten minutes along Düsseldorfer Strasse via Platz der Republik
- From the Hauptbahnhof, U-Bahn line U4 runs one stop to Festhalle/Messe, and trams 16 and 17 reach the same stop in three stops
- Drivers follow the Messe traffic signs; visitors park at the Rebstock multi storey car park, with a shuttle to the Portalhaus entrance
- Frankfurt has a low emission zone, but Messe Frankfurt says vehicles without the sticker may drive to the West and North gates via the A648 or the Katharinenkreisel roundabout
How do you get around during Techtextil?
Getting to the halls each day
- The S-Bahn to Frankfurt (Main) Messe and the Torhaus entrance is the fastest daily route to the western halls where Techtextil and Texprocess sit in 2028
- Admission tickets that carry an RMV travel notice double as a public transport pass in the RMV area for the trip to and from the fair; complimentary tickets do not
- An online ticket counts for RMV travel only when shown with a valid ID card or passport, Messe Frankfurt says
- Opening times are 9:00 to 18:00 from Tuesday to Thursday and 9:00 to 16:00 on Friday, and the free Techtextil Navigator app has the hall plan and exhibitor search
Where to stay in Frankfurt
- Westend and the Europaviertel sit right around the exhibition grounds, so you can walk to the halls
- The Bahnhofsviertel around the Hauptbahnhof has a wide range of hotels and is two S-Bahn stops from the Messe, with direct trains to the airport
- The city centre (Innenstadt) and Römer area put you near restaurants for evening meetings, a short U-Bahn or S-Bahn ride away
- Messe Frankfurt says there are about 5,000 hotel beds within a 15 minute walk of the grounds, and points to Frankfurt Tourism and Perfect Meeting GmbH (for groups) for bookings
Do you need a visa for Techtextil?
Visa-free / visa on arrival
- Check the current visa and entry rules for your passport before you travel; the German Federal Foreign Office publishes the list of who needs a visa for Germany
- Germany is in the Schengen Area, so EU, EEA and Swiss citizens travel with a valid passport or national ID card
- Many other passport holders can visit Germany for a short stay without a visa, but the conditions depend on your nationality, so confirm them on the Federal Foreign Office list
- The EU's Entry/Exit System now registers non EU short stay visitors at the Schengen border, and the ETIAS travel authorisation is not yet in operation; check the EU's official pages shortly before you fly
eVisa / visa required
- If your passport is not on the visa free list, apply for a Schengen short stay visa at the German embassy or consulate responsible for where you live
- The EU says to apply no earlier than six months and at least 15 days before your trip, and Messe Frankfurt asks visitors to apply as early as possible because waiting times can be long
- For help with a trade fair visa, Messe Frankfurt points visitors to its official sales partner in their country of residence
Documents to carry
- A passport or, for EU, EEA and Swiss citizens, a national ID card, valid for your whole stay; carry it anyway if you use an online ticket on public transport
- Your Techtextil ticket or exhibitor pass, on your phone or printed
- Hotel booking and return travel details, plus travel insurance and copies of any visa supporting documents
Entry and visa rules change; check current requirements with the German embassy or consulate, or official EU sources, before you book.
First time at Techtextil?
- Techtextil and Texprocess run side by side; Messe Frankfurt says 87 percent of Texprocess trade visitors in 2026 also went to Techtextil, so plan time for both
- Friday closes at 16:00, two hours earlier than the other days, so book your return flight or train with that in mind
- Download the 2028 ground plan from the Techtextil site before you go: the route follows the textile chain from Hall 8.0 to Halls 12.0, 12.1, 11.0 and 9.0
- Exhibitor passes let you into the grounds an hour before the halls open to visitors
- Visitor tickets for 2028 were not on sale yet when we checked; watch the Techtextil site for the ticket shop
Insider tips from repeat attendees
- Techtextil sorts its show into twelve application areas, from Mobiltech and Medtech to Buildtech and Protech, which helps buyers from one industry find suppliers used to their standards
- The Nature Performance area showed bio based and natural alternatives to synthetic fibres in 2026, with more than 110 exhibitors, and Performance Apparel Textiles doubled its exhibitor count, so both are worth a look
- Messe Frankfurt names Frankfurt Tourism and Perfect Meeting GmbH for accommodation; Event Escapes is independent and not affiliated with Techtextil, Texprocess or Messe Frankfurt, and you book a named hotel directly with us at the rate shown
