Intex – The Premier International Textile Sourcing Show and the co-located InMac – Smart Technology & Innovation in Gar-Tex Machinery will be held from 5 to 7 August 2026 at the BMICH, Colombo, uniting global textile sourcing and garment technology under one roof.
Hosting over 300 international companies from 15+ countries and regions, this largest-ever edition offers a comprehensive end-to-end platform to modernize Sri Lanka’s supply chain.
