Uzbekistan is steadily strengthening its position as a Central Asian hub for the textile and fashion industry, overcoming the challenges of global trade and logistics through decisive state measures. These include establishment of the Light Industry Development Agency backed by $200 mln., as well as the President’s announcement of an “Intensive 100 Days” programme to support the sector. Alongside the textile business community’s efforts to diversify production, these initiatives are driving modernisation, export growth, and access to the European and US markets. Against this backdrop, the timing of Global Textile Days in September is particularly significant, as the synergy between CAITME and TextileExpo Uzbekistan offers domestic manufacturers exceptional opportunities — from exploring the latest technologies and equipment to showcasing their products on the global stage.
The CAITME platform stands as Uzbekistan’s leading national exhibition project for equipment in the textile, garment, and knitwear industry — one of the country’s most important and export-oriented sectors. It is the only exhibition of its kind in Central Asia and a unique international showcase of textile technologies. According to an independent audit by the Global Association of the Exhibition Industry (UFI), CAITME ranks first among similar events across the CIS and is the second largest on the Eurasian continent. Since its launch in 2004, the exhibition has consistently attracted world-renowned leaders in textile machinery and suppliers of advanced technologies from both Europe and Asia.
The event enjoys the traditional support of the key ministries and government agencies, while welcoming professional buyers, expert delegations from across Central Asia (Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyz Republic, and Tajikistan), leading investors, as well as representatives of the diplomatic corps and international organisations. Over the years, CAITME has become the gateway to Uzbekistan’s textile market, serving as the entry point for many international textile engineering leaders now engaged in partnerships, joint ventures, and investment.
The exhibition will once again offer a unique platform for industry players from across the region to connect, explore the latest innovations from the world’s leading manufacturers of textile, sewing, and knitting equipment and components, and see the cutting-edge solutions to be demonstrated in action. Participants will benefit from direct consultations and technical support, address after-sales service issues, and collaborate on strategies to overcome the current industry challenges.
MAIB, the Association of Machinery Exporters of Turkiye, will perform as the General Sponsor of the exhibition, represented under the Turkish Machinery brand. Established in 2002, MAIB brings together more than 25,000 exporters and plays a pivotal role in advancing and promoting Turkish mechanical engineering in the global market.
The exhibition will be hosted in Pavilions 1, 2, 3, and Atrium 1 of the Uzexpocentre National Exhibition Complex, with displays organised into dedicated sections for visitor convenience.
Pavilions 1, 2, and Atrium 1 will feature equipment, components, auxiliary machines, and solutions for spinning, weaving, knitting, dyeing, and finishing operations.
Pavilion 3 will, for the second consecutive year, showcase sewing technologies that continue to attract strong demand among a wide spectrum of buyers. Exhibits will include sewing machines, automated sewing systems, cutting devices, production software, and much more.
As in previous years, the CAITME exposition will feature a prominent line-up of renowned global companies and brands from Europe and Asia. Among them: Truetzschler, Groz-Beckert, Mahlo, Habasit, MHMS, Vandewiele NV, IRO, Biancalani, Corino, Ferraro, Itema, Lafer, Mario Crosta, Motex Di Modiano Guido, Salvade`, Simet, Dilmenler, Dalgakiran, Mersan, Temsan, Lakshmi Machine Works, Lakshmi Card Clothing, Perfect Equipments, CTMTC, Hengyi, Leadsfon, Rifa, Yingyang, and many others.
The exhibition will also provide visitors with the opportunity to explore new products in live demonstrations. A leading knitting equipment manufacturer, Santoni, will present three machines under different brands for the first time: Jingmei – JFG, Santoni – Zenit HS2, and Pilotelli – JVCE-4. These solutions combine European technology with Asian efficiency, addressing a wide range of modern market demands.
