Each year, the National Restaurant Association Show brings together the hospitality industry’s leading voices to explore the trends, technologies, and ideas shaping the future of foodservice. Held at Chicago’s McCormick Place, NRA Show 2026 welcomed more than 55,000 foodservice professionals from 112 countries and featured over 2,300 exhibitors across 900 product categories, making it one of the largest and most influential hospitality trade shows in North America. Attendance continued to grow, reflecting sustained momentum and a strong appetite for innovation.

Against that backdrop, Garnier Thiebaut USA welcomed professionals from across the industry to discover our newest hospitality linen collections and explore the evolving needs of restaurants, hotels, event venues, and design-driven spaces.

Here is a look at what we experienced, the linens we previewed, and the insights we heard from those who visited our booth.

This year’s booth

This month’s edition of the The Cut Monthly Newsletter by Garnier Thiebaut USA, we showcase new product releases, top picks in pool terry, and celebrate International Women’s Month with interviews from our team and invaluable partners, whose collaborative efforts drive our success forward.

Our new Fidenza Collection, woven from pure 100% Italian linen, exudes a classic and timeless aesthetic with sleek mitered corners and a lightweight weave of 160 GSM. Offered in an extensive palette of 45 different colors, Fidenza is well suited to match every season, and dining setting.

The Fidenza Collection also boasts a sustainable advantage rooted in the flax-growing process. Flax fibers require minimal water, and use less pesticides and chemicals to produce. Fidenza’s natural linen composition results in a fabric that can absorb liquid without feeling damp and is hypoallergenic, ensuring comfortable use for your guests. Elevate the dining experience

As we reach the midway point of Q1 2024, the Garnier Thiebaut USA team is prepped to service your linen needs through new products, integrative technologies, and rapid order fulfillment. In this month’s edition of The Cut Monthly Newsletter by Garnier Thiebaut USA, we unveil new releases in terry, offer a behind-the-scenes look into the art of weaving, discuss the arrival of RFID tech in linens, and introduce some of the talented individuals who constitute the backbone of our team.

We are excited to announce our newest selection of 100% cotton bath linen for our Hospitality partners, perfect for spas and guestrooms. Each design was meticulously crafted to enhance the tactile experiences guests encounter during their stay.
