Carpets & Rugs Expansion: Heimtextil’s popular Carpets & Rugs segment will occupy expanded hall space, showcasing hand-knotted carpets, machine-woven options, and other unique pieces. The segment has attracted new exhibitors such as ABC Italia, Bhadohi Carpets from India, and Belgium’s Balta Home. Notably, a new collaboration with Belgian association Fedustria will present a “Belgium Textiles” area featuring some of Belgium’s most renowned carpet companies.
Heimtextil directors Bettina Bar and Margit Herberth made an impressive press conference in Istanbul in early October and detailed what the start-button-event of the year has in store in its 2025 edition.
At Heimtextil 2025, the successfully established product segment grows in quality and quantity. Number of exhibitors and the area grew tremendously.
“We are very pleased about this growth from the market. It clearly reflects the industry’s need for a strong, international and central carpet platform. This is exactly what we offer with Heimtextil in Frankfurt: a comprehensive market overview and a bundled product range combined with the highest quality. We have listened to the market and taken on board the feedback. Now it’s a matter of expanding the range, organizing it in a structured way and presenting it to visitors in a structured manner”, explains Bettina Bär, Director Heimtextil. In 2025, the segment grows by an entire hall level: the expanded range of high-quality hand-woven carpets and the international country pavilions are located in the additional Hall 5.0. Once again, Hall 5.1 is home to the growing segment of machine-woven carpets and also brings together the enlarged pre-production offer with fibers and yarns as well as technologies specifically for the carpet industry.
Hand-knotted carpets and unique pieces, doormats and clean-off systems as well as textile solutions for outdoor areas and contract business round off the unique range. Another highlight: a new carpet area is being planned together with the exhibitor Ragolle Rugs and the Belgian association Fedustria. The association will be exhibiting together with wellknown exhibitors from Belgium in a high-quality joint presentation.
