Turkey Textile Machinery and Sewing Equipment Exhibition

The Turkey Textile Machinery, Sewing Equipment, and Apparel Machinery Exhibition (Garment Tech Istanbul Expo) is Turkey’s sole and most comprehensive event dedicated to the apparel and ready-to-wear sectors. It brings together leading Turkish apparel machinery manufacturers and representatives of globally renowned brands, attracting professional visitors and international buyers from around the world.

Turkey ranks as the world’s third-largest apparel exporter, with the textile and apparel industry accounting for 5.5% of GDP, 17.5% of industrial output, and 19% of manufacturing value added. Employment in the textile and apparel sector represents 21% of total manufacturing jobs nationwide. With a well-developed textile industry that serves as one of its key economic pillars, Turkey exports approximately 70% of its textile products, contributing 39% of the country’s total export value—roughly US$10 billion annually. The Turkish market for textile and apparel machinery has long been a fiercely contested arena, where imported equipment enjoys favorable market access and commands premium pricing. In recent years, the Turkish government has steadily increased investment in the textile sector, resulting in consistent year-on-year growth in equipment procurement—a stark contrast to the declining purchasing trends observed across many other countries and regions.

As the premier gathering place for industry professionals, exhibitors, media representatives, and visitors in the Middle East and Eastern Europe, the Turkey Textile Machinery, Sewing Equipment, and Apparel Machinery Exhibition (Garment Tech Istanbul Expo) serves as a vital platform for connecting exhibitors with top-tier buyers. Attendees span diverse segments of the textile and apparel manufacturing value chain, encompassing various brands, product categories, and industrial applications.
