Three fairs, one meeting: Emitex, Simatex and Confemaq return in 2026

29 Sep 2025

Buenos Aires, September 2025. - From June 2 to 4, 2026, the textile and clothing industry chain meets once again at La Rural Trade Fair Center in Buenos Aires to set trends and open new business opportunities.

EMITEX-305

In 2026, Emitex (International Trade Fair of Suppliers for the Garment Industry), Simatex (International Trade Fair of Textile Machinery), and Confemaq (International Trade Fair of Garment Machinery) will return, presenting the latest innovations in machinery for the textile industry, printing and digital sublimation technologies, fibers and yarns, accessories, equipment and supplies for the clothing industry, services and more.

By walking through the halls of the event, visitors will have the opportunity to meet with colleagues, close deals with new suppliers, learn about the latest trends and participate in different professional updating activities.

The textile and clothing industry is one of the most important productive sectors in Argentina. With more than 500,000 direct jobs and a network of small and medium-sized companies distributed throughout the country, its value chain plays a strategic role in the development of regional economies. Its contribution is not measured only in numbers: it represents Argentine identity, design, innovation and creativity.

In the last 2024 edition, Emitex, Simatex and Confemaq reaffirmed their role as the great meeting point for the entire value chain, with more than 14,000 professional visitors who toured 14,000 m² of exhibition space.

"We are proud that this biennial space allows suppliers to showcase the great potential, quality and technology of our industry internationally. This reunion in La Rural demonstrates the scope and validity of a sector that not only provides added value to the country, but also generates quality employment," said Andrea Lippi, Project Manager of Emitex, Simatex and Confemaq.

The three exhibitions are organized by Revista Mundo Textil and Messe Frankfurt Argentina, and are part of Texpertise, an international network of more than 60 events specialized in the textile industry that connects innovation, trends and business at a global level.
