The co-located exhibitions will bring together more than 300 international exhibitors from over 15 countries and regions, offering a comprehensive platform that connects textile sourcing, apparel manufacturing and advanced machinery under one roof.
Intex Sri Lanka 2026 will showcase the latest innovations in fibres, yarns, fabrics, trims, accessories and sustainable textile materials, enabling Sri Lankan manufacturers to connect with buyers and suppliers from South Asia, ASEAN, Europe and the Middle East.
Running alongside the sourcing exhibition, InMac Sri Lanka 2026 will focus on smart manufacturing technologies, featuring next-generation sewing, cutting, digital printing and eco-friendly finishing solutions aimed at helping garment manufacturers improve automation, productivity and value addition.
