Tissue World Istanbul 2026

Tissue World Istanbul is Informa's tissue industry event for the EurAsia region, combining a two-day conference with a tabletop exhibition at the Hilton Istanbul Bosphorus. The organizer positions it as a gateway to the MENA tissue market, held in Türkiye, which it describes as a global leader in tissue production after a decade of strong growth in output and capacity.

The event is for anyone involved in making, converting or selling tissue products.

• Pulp producers
• Tissue manufacturers and converters

• Brand owners and private label manufacturers
• Raw material and equipment suppliers

Conference and exhibition

The conference runs on both days with market analysis, production efficiency and sustainability sessions, while the exhibition shows machinery, automation, chemicals and services from global and regional suppliers. Networking drinks close the first day. Confirmed 2026 speakers include executives from Lila Kagit, Fine Hygienic Holding, Futura, Valmet, Resourcewise, Euromonitor and Gulf Manufacturing.

Why Istanbul
