Maquitex – Where the textile industry equips itself for the future
Maquitex is the trade fair that brings together the most advanced solutions for the textile, clothing, apparel, embroidery, and accessories industries. The event once again positions itself as the main meeting point for equipment manufacturers, technology suppliers, and industry professionals.
More than just a trade show, Maquitex is a space for direct contact with applied innovation, real productivity, and sustainable partnerships.
A trade show designed for the entire cycle
of textile production
A strategic, dynamic, and evolving sector
The textile and clothing industry is one of the most important in the Portuguese economy—and also one of the most resilient and innovative. With a strong manufacturing tradition, technical know-how, and a growing focus on sustainability, automation, and digitization, the sector has been reinventing itself to assert its position in international markets.
Portugal exports more than €5 billion worth of textiles and clothing every year, standing out for its rapid response, quality manufacturing, and industrial flexibility. Its ability to integrate the entire production cycle—from raw materials to the final product—is an added value recognized by leading brands around the world.
In this context, Maquitex emerges as an essential event:
- Presents technical solutions that help modernize production
- Facilitates direct contact between manufacturers, technicians, suppliers, and decision-makers
- It creates a space for updating and sharing for all those who work to make the Portuguese textile sector a benchmark for innovation and competitiveness.
