Texcare International is a key reference point for companies involved in professional laundry, dry-cleaning and textile services. From May 2026, the trade fair will be headed by Vivien Altmann-Morelli, who will also assume responsibility for the associated brand Textile Care & Cleaning Technologies. Her remit includes the strategic direction of Texcare International in Frankfurt, recognised as the leading global exhibition for textile care technology and services. In addition, she oversees the four international events within the Texcare brand family, which play a significant role in major economic regions worldwide.

Altmann-Morelli will report to Kerstin Horaczek, Vice President Technology Shows at Messe Frankfurt Exhibition. Her professional background aligns closely with the requirements of a global industry platform. Since joining Messe Frankfurt in 2019, she has worked in Sales and Guest Events and later coordinated interdisciplinary projects. She also contributed to the further development of the organisation’s sustainability initiatives, an area increasingly relevant to textile care suppliers and service providers.

Her responsibilities span the full Texcare portfolio: Texcare Asia & China Laundry Expo, Texcare France, The Clean Show in the USA and the Clean India Show. This consolidated brand management strengthens international visibility and supports manufacturers, technology providers and service companies seeking consistency across multiple markets. Beyond Texcare, Altmann-Morelli will also lead IFFA and oversee the Food Technologies brand.

The next Texcare will take place in Frankfurt from 8 to 11 November 2028. As the industry’s leading event, it offers an overview of innovations in machinery, textile processing, hygiene management and digitalisation. Under Altmann-Morelli’s leadership, the Texcare brand aims to maintain its position as a central platform for development and decision-making within the global textile care industry.
