FABTEX Georgia 2025

FABTEX Georgia: A Modern Textile Trade Platform in the Crossroads of Continents

FABTEX Georgia is emerging as a significant event in the textile and apparel industry, offering a vibrant platform for global business, innovation, and networking. Taking place at the highly regarded Expo Georgia exhibition complex in Tbilisi, the event is strategically positioned to serve both Eastern European and Western Asian markets.

Set in Hall 11, which spans 1690 sq.m of modern indoor space, the fair is designed to accommodate a broad range of exhibitors, attendees, and activities focused on the textile supply chain. FABTEX Georgia not only taps into the country's long-standing expertise in textile production but also introduces fresh momentum to the region’s rapidly modernizing fashion and manufacturing landscape.

Why Georgia? A Strategic Hub for Textile and Apparel Trade

Georgia’s appeal as a host country is more than geographical. The nation holds a rich industrial legacy—especially in textiles and apparel—which traces its roots to Soviet-era manufacturing infrastructure. At that time, Georgia was a recognized center for quality textile production within the USSR.

Today, the country is reclaiming its position by actively integrating into global trade networks, implementing business-friendly policies, and upgrading its industrial base. Georgia’s duty-free access to both EU and CIS markets, low tariffs, and strategic logistics routes make it an increasingly appealing destination for textile investments and trade shows like FABTEX.
