As EXINTEX 2026 prepares to open its doors from March 10–13 at the Puebla Exhibition and Convention Center, recent security developments in Mexico have attracted attention within the international textile and business community.
Ongoing tensions related to organized crime activity in certain parts of the country have prompted increased public discussion, particularly following reports involving high-profile criminal figures. These developments have led to localized security operations in specific regions.
Event Plans Proceed Amid Heightened Monitoring
Despite these concerns, authorities continue to emphasize that major industrial and commercial hubs — including Puebla — remain fully operational. Reinforced security measures are reportedly in place to ensure the safety of international visitors and exhibitors attending large-scale events.
At present, there has been no official indication that EXINTEX 2026 will face disruption. Organizers are moving forward according to schedule, while closely monitoring the situation in coordination with local authorities and relevant security agencies.

Industry observers note that security headlines can influence travel sentiment, particularly for first-time visitors. However, Mexico has historically maintained major trade exhibitions even during periods of heightened security awareness, typically implementing additional precautions rather than canceling events outright.
Further updates are expected as the exhibition date approaches, with stakeholders watching closely for any developments that could affect international participation.
