Here is where textile industry's future begins. My TexStyle Expo in Poland
Textile and clothing producers are clutching their heads in disbelief. The EU requires companies to produce sustainably, respect human rights at every stage, use materials and machinery with the most negligible environmental impact, and extend products’ life. How can one meet the legal requirements while maintaining production in Europe, where wages are high, and textile workers are in short supply?
There is just one answer: AI
Experts in fabric and clothing production unanimously say that we should automate most of the factory processes or we cannot count on business development and profits. Thus Targi Kielce, one of Poland’s leading organisers of B2B events, created the platform for presenting AI tools in for textile production, a showcase for modern textile machines.
- Targi Kielce helps arrange a new textile reality in Poland. (…) My TexStyle exhibitors and representatives of the Polish and foreign textile industries and scientific milieus will present completely new technological solutions. The show is an opportunity for expo visitors to become familiar with innovative devices. Manufacturers find their bearings in a new technological world. – says Henryk Marucha, owner of Victory Sportswear Company.
The International Expo of Textile Machines, Materials and Accessories MyTexstyle is held from 7 to 9 May 2025 in the Kielce Exhibition and Congress Centre. The event brings together exhibitors from five continents - companies from Italy, Spain, Portugal, Germany, Switzerland, Turkey, Uzbekistan, China, India and Poland present their products.
What makes My Texstyle complete?

The three-day Congress accompanies the exhibition and brings together companies’ CEOs, scientists and environmental activists who meet manufacturers and tell them how to automate production processes and implement the new EU directive provisions. The Green TexStyle conference is a knowledge mine about ecology and sustainable development in textiles and clothing production. The Business TexStyle conference features industry experts sharing tips with aspiring entrepreneurs at presentations and lectures.
The Polish and CEE region market hungry for new technologies
According to data from the Polish Textile Industry Association, the Polish industry now employs 194,000 people and is one of the largest in the country and the third most promising in Europe. This does not mean, however, that Poland’s industry does not always have to face new challenges.
- Today, we must thoroughly follow new trends and requirements; we are committed to entering a much higher technological and qualitative level. We face the great challenge of transitioning from manual to machine work. Thus, we have fewer and fewer opportunities to educate our staff; people willing to work in our industry are increasingly scarce, and we need to automate specific processes – says Ireneusz Chabrowski, president of the Polish Textile Industry Association.
Using AI and machines that could replace people is one of the most effective methods of boosting and enhancing business development and staying afloat. Machines that operate with AI support enable the optimisation of production processes, waste reduction and energy efficiency, to name just a few domains.
