EXPODETERGO INTERNATIONAL 2026, da fine Maggio al via l’Early Booking

The preparations for EXPODETERGO INTERNATIONAL 2026 are officially underway. Europe's leading trade fair for machinery, technologies, products, and services dedicated to the professional laundry, ironing, and textile care is scheduled to take place next year from October 23 to 26. Although there is still missing more than one year until the event, the journey towards EXPODETERGO INTERNATIONAL 2026 begins now, marked by several key milestones. The first of these is the traditional preparatory meeting, scheduled for May 23 to 25 in Maranello, near Modena. As always, the meeting will serve as a platform to share valuable updates and insights about the trade fair, while also providing space for discussion on the current state of both industrial and small laundries sectors. The agenda will also include some entertainment moments: from the adrenaline rush of a virtual single-seater racing simulator to a high-speed tire-changing challenge, all under pressure of the stopwatch.

The conference in Maranello will also mark the beginning of the Early Booking period, open from May 26 to November 30. During these six months, exhibitors can book their spaces at a discounted rate and benefit from the priority in selecting their preferred location within the framework of Fiera Milano. The event will showcase a wide range of professional machinery and products for both large and small laundries, with exhibitors coming from various sectors of the textile cleaning industry, both national and international. Maranello wasn’t chosen by chance. It's a place where ideas and innovation come to life, rich in history, shaped by victories, and forever tied to the legend of the prancing horse. Ferrari, a global icon of Italian excellence, continues to capture the world’s imagination and fuel the dreams of millions of enthusiasts. In the same spirit, EXPODETERGO INTERNATIONAL, often referred to as the “Formula 1 of Trade Fairs”, combines cuttingedge technology and the specialized expertise of textile care suppliers with the evolving needs of professionals who handle everything from shirts and garments to tablecloths, bed linens, and workwear. This is a crucial sector, where the quality of cleaning and precision in finishing go hand in hand with strict hygiene standards and a growing commitment to sustainability throughout the entire process.

The preparations for EXPODETERGO INTERNATIONAL 2026 are officially underway.

The ultimate goal in developing any business whether a small laundry shop or a large industrial laundry, is to deliver quality while continually striving to maximize customer satisfaction. That’s why technological innovation, particularly through process automation, plays a pivotal role. It not only simplifies operations and boosts profitability, but also helps address one of the industry’s most persistent challenges: the chronic shortage of skilled labour, long considered one of the sector’s most pressing difficulties. Finding the right economic context for holding a trade fair is always a challenge, and each edition presents its own set of obstacles. In October 2022, we approached the event with the fear that the virus might resurface in the form of an unknown variant, while Eastern Europe was gripped by the Russian-Ukrainian conflict and the Far East was still battling the final waves of Covid. Despite these uncertainties, the edition proved to be a resounding success, with strong exhibitor participation and impressive attendance.

Today, we face a new set of challenges: a global trade war, tariff disputes, and the end of globalization as we once knew it. However, despite these difficulties, we are preparing ourselves for an edition that promises to be even more engaging and attractive, under the claim “Towards a Changing World”.
