Greener operations, smarter systems and integrated supply chains
TXCA & CLE 2026 will focus on energy efficiency, digital automation and textile rental solutions as three areas of growing commercial relevance across the textile care sector. With a refined product mix and enhanced display content, the exhibition will offer a more complete view of the technologies, equipment and service models being adopted across the sector.
- Lower-impact laundry operations
Energy use, water consumption and discharge management remain key considerations for laundry operators seeking to improve long-term performance. TXCA & CLE 2026 will feature low-energy, low-emission and high-utilisation washing technologies, including water and energy-efficient industrial washers, eco-friendly low-temperature detergents, water recycling systems, intelligent energy recovery devices and biodegradable packaging, relevant to buyers managing operating costs, resource efficiency and environmental performance. - Smarter plant management and automation
Rising labour costs and the need for more consistent production have accelerated demand for digital, automated and unmanned laundry systems. At the 2026 edition, visitors will find intelligent sorting systems, IoT remote monitoring platforms, fully automatic control systems and smart auxiliary processing equipment used across washing, sorting, monitoring and auxiliary processes. - Textile rental and supply chain integration
Textile rental continues to gain ground in hospitality and healthcare, where operators are looking for more flexible ways to manage linen quality, inventory and service costs. TXCA & CLE 2026 will further develop this category with exhibits covering shared linens, medical soft instruments, RFID identification tags, automatic laundry collection cabinets and textile rental management systems, addressing key stages of the rental process from linen distribution and smart sorting to traceability and washing.
Alongside its expanded exhibition content, the fair is expected to attract professionals from 100 countries and regions, including industry buyers, manufacturers and R&D professionals. The event has partnered with nearly 50 industry associations across Europe, the Americas, Asia and Oceania to organise professional purchasing delegations across 15 countries and regions.
