Con le mani

During 2021, a lot has changed also in the way Filo has decided to communicate. Indeed, digital communication has integrated and mixed with the physical reality of the fair. That’s how new initiatives and opportunities for in depth-studies developed.

A matter of touch | Con le mani
There are no words or images that can take the place of physical contact.

During all stages of the production process – from the raw material to the finished product – proximity to the object of work is important.

Experience and technical skills are vital prerequisites for the success of products, always to be combined with the feel. And the latter is the decisive act of product quality control.

FILO strongly promotes this approach which has always supported the know-how of our industries. Especially those producing BEAUTIFUL products.
