The 54th edition of Filo has ended on a positive note, despite the difficult situation the industry is facing. The international show displays yarns and fibres for woven and knitted fabrics for apparel, furnishing, and technical textiles. Yarns and fibres for orthogonal and circular weaving, for clothing and furniture, are the main showstoppers at Filo.
“The 54th edition of Filo closed with positive results, which have been achieved during a very difficult economic situation. In this edition, there were 70 exhibitors, while the number of visitors were higher than expected, and foreign buyers too, especially from France, also thanks to the cooperation with ITA-Agency. For the yarns’ industry, the 54th edition of Filo has represented the first chance to come back to the fair in attendance and it has affirmed the will of companies to re-start, the desire to meet each other again and to get back to growth’s path together,” Paolo Monfermoso, general manager of Filo said in a press release on the show.The 54th edition of Filo has ended on a positive note, despite the difficult situation the industry is facing.

“For us the 54th Filo edition has been positive, considering also the extremely delicate moment that this sector is living. We have registered a high number of visitors, foreign ones too, especially from France and Portugal. Our company proposes a wide range of high-quality products. We aim at producing natural products, propose recycled yarns and work with non-dyed wool waste,” Christian Spiritu from Davifil said.
“This is our first time at Filo, but our opinion about the fair is extremely positive. We have received visits from usual clients, but we also have had new contacts, very concrete ones. We also find that the location chosen by Filo was excellent, very functional and equipped with adequate services. Among the products which drew attention, I want to mention our regenerated cotton to be matched with Lurex or lamè yarns,” Emanuele Giletti from Giletti said.
“The exhibition performed well, we have met our usual customers, but also new ones. We are very happy with the new location, which is surely more suitable for a fair as Filo is. As far as our products are concerned, we have expanded our range, adding to the classic lame, that has already become increasingly finer, softer, and more resistant to dyeing treatments, a range of refracting yarns ranging from bare strips accounting for 1/100, 1/69 in width, up to 2mm to gimped yarns with nylon or polyester to make them more resistant,” Alberto Bordin from Marfil said.
