You’ve never seen a Filo like this before

The complicity between Filo, Salone dei Filati, and Milano Unica – the Italian textile exhibition – has been further reinforced. Carlo Piacenza, chairman of the Unione Industriale Biellese, officially opened the 48th edition of the International Yarn and Fibers Exhibition with the aim of strengthening the distinctiveness of the Italian textile industry by announcing, during the inauguration, the cooperation between Filo and Milan Unica. With the upcoming edition of the two exhibitions, they will together present the latest trends in the their respective textile industry sectors. Milano Unica will dedicate a space for trends related to the development of yarns elaborated by Filo. Likewise, Filo will host trends from Milan Unica. In a perfect symbiosis between professionalism and efficiency, the concepts of synergy and supply will be come together.

The topic of sustainability was a major issue for this edition with the conference, “Sustainability Supply Chain”, mentioned by many, including Ercole Botto – President of Milan Unica – who represents the conference through an increasingly solid vertical integration. Alessandro Zucchi, President of Acimit, presented the initiatives of his association, wanting to make of them a business model. Finally, Ivan Scalfarotto emphasized the importance of this choice because of the excellence of Italian yarns.

After distinguishing itself, the edition finally closed with a positive climate and a greater number of visitors, well over 10% than the previous edition. In fact, the increase in the number of exhibitors, more than 90, led to a greater turnout of buyers from all over the world.

 

Upcoming dates for the 49th edition of Filo are February 21st and 22nd,  2018 at Palazzo delle Stelline in Milan.
