Regulatory pressure and consumer demand for circular products are reshaping textile production. Print technology appears repeatedly as a lever to reduce waste, water use and to enable more flexible, localized manufacturing.
Status of the 2026 edition
Organizers have announced the 2026 conference will be postponed and that TPS will return in 2028. ESMA continues to maintain communication channels for future updates and collaboration opportunities across the textile network.
Practical data for the planned dates and venue
The event was scheduled for 15 to 17 September 2026 at Messegelände Nordpark in Mönchengladbach. Official communications reference contact points and archive materials from previous editions available via the conference channels.
Program topics highlighted by the organizers
Publicly listed topics include printing hardware, workflow automation, ink and treatment chemistry, application areas across home textiles and apparel, and sustainability measures. These program entries indicate a combined focus on technical performance and environmental criteria.
How to approach B2B outreach for TPS
- Segment your targets by supply chain role. Decide whether your priority is ink suppliers, printhead makers, automation integrators or textile recyclers.
- Ask for operational metrics. Request information on water use per process, compatibility of inks with recycling streams, and integration requirements for digital workflows.
- Prepare concrete use cases. Bring samples, production volumes and process constraints to make commercial conversations technical and actionable.
- Leverage past content. Presentations and attendee feedback from previous years help identify companies and sessions worth contacting.
What this means for suppliers and brands
Even with the 2026 postponement, the themes addressed at TPS remain central for brands reducing environmental impact and for suppliers adapting offerings to new regulations. Tracking technological and regulatory developments allows firms to sharpen their commercial proposals ahead of the next conference.
