The exhibition floor is a comprehensive showcase, featuring a vast array of fabrics and textiles for apparel, home interiors, and technical applications. This includes everything from natural silks and premium wools to innovative technical and non-woven materials. A major focus is on the complete supply chain, with extensive displays of yarns, threads, raw materials, dyes, and an extensive range of haberdashery and accessories like buttons, zippers, and labels.
Critically, INTERFABRIC is integrated into the larger Russian Textile Week, the most significant congress and exhibition event for the industry in Russia. This synergy amplifies its impact, positioning it as the commercial heartbeat of a wider ecosystem dedicated to the sector’s growth and dialogue.

For exhibitors, particularly international suppliers, the event offers direct access to a high-concentration audience of qualified buyers from across Russia and neighboring countries. It is recognized as the most effective platform for promoting products, conducting face-to-face negotiations, and signing contracts in the region. The exhibition’s high-level institutional support further validates its role as a gateway to understanding regulatory and trade dynamics.

It is a unique opportunity to source new materials, compare products from over 20 countries live on the floor, discover emerging trends at the dedicated TREND FORUM, and gain direct insights into the innovations that will define future collections.
Beyond the Booth: Knowledge and Recognition
The exhibition experience extends far beyond product displays through a rich program of ancillary events designed to educate and inspire. Attendees can participate in free business events, including specialized trainings, workshops, and structured B2B meetings, fostering an environment of knowledge exchange.
A highlight of the cultural program is the series of international competitions, such as the Interfabric Awards and the TEXTILETALENTS AWARD, which spotlight excellence in design and textile innovation, setting benchmarks for the industry. Specialized salons within the exhibition, like TextilePrintDesign and the Technical Textile salon, allow for deeper dives into niche and high-growth segments.
