While Luca Mainardi of Marchi e Fildi underlines that “the fair went well with a good number of consolidated customers. Our company is specialized in products particularly suitable for the summer season. We believe the moment has come for a definite consecration of ecological yarns throughout the whole productive chain all the way to the final consumer. The necessity to have products which are environmentally friendly has been understood by everyone as well as the need to have products respecting the health of those who come into contact with them.”

Positive comments also come from Angelo Della Porta of Pozzi Electa: “We are very satisfied, we have had a good number of visitors and not only our usual customers, but also new ones and we have seen the return of some buyers who have been missing for a few seasons. Everyone seemed to be qualified and concrete. As usual we presented some new mixtures which were greatly appreciated.”

Nicoletta Meriglio of Botto Poala is satisifed with the two days at FILO: “They were days of good work, during which we met many customers, even new ones. In this edition, summer yarns were primarily requested, lightly flaked linen-silk, very light wool and also some mixtures of wool/silk.”

Vanessa Dell’Armi of Techfil-Fil Man Made Group noted “a good presence of buyers, both Italian and foreign, but too concentrated at certain times of the two days. We had moments when the stands were very crowded and other moments when it was calmer. If we take into account the moment of great uncertainty we are having, the event was positive, even if the actual outcome will be known when the orders are confirmed.

Among the novelties we have proposed, our jaspé yarns made with a paste dyed Lenzing Modal fibre were particularly appreciated.

Bertrand Hogg of Lurex agrees with the “positive flow of visitors. We have been present at FILO for very many years and here we meet our Italian customers, who are now consolidated, and know how to appreciate our very high quality products. In this edition we favoured unsaturated, whitened and pastel colours as well as stronger and changing colours.”

Among the new exhibitors, Roberto Belloli of Antonio Aspesi concludes “that on the whole it was a positive event for many buyers who visited our stand in the two days of the fair. Obviously, it was a first encounter that will have to be confirmed in the coming months. Our company is very careful to satisfy the various needs of customers and for this reason in the last few years we have made numerous technological innovations in the crafting of our products.”
