I love Filo

International companies like Filo for its characteristics of concreteness and effectiveness, which push spinning mills to offer increasingly innovative products. Paulo Lopez of the Portuguese Têxteis J.F. Almeida explains in this interview the qualities of the yarn presented at Filo and produced with materials recycled from internal production waste.

Leading European wool spinning mill with 70 years of experience, Filatures du parc is particularly appreciated in the production of classic and fancy carded yarns. For years, the production of virgin yarns has been accompanied by an increasingly large share of recycled yarns. In the interview Eric Gunzle explains the results and objectives of the French company, present for the first time at Filo.

How much sustainability was a central theme of the 59th edition of Filo was demonstrated in the Ghezzi spa stand. In the interview, Luigi Ghezzi explains how in his company “sustainability is achieved not only in name but in fact: we have presented various eco-friendly, sustainable items, obtained from recycled products; or products that decompose in a very limited amount of time. All our proposals have aroused great interest in the buyers”.

“Filo is a textile fair concentrated in a short time and therefore very effective, held in the right period of the year”: that is a positive opinion that Davide Bianchi, Ceo of Eurolast, reserves for Filo. In the interview Bianchi illustrates the Repetita project: a material recycled from plastic bottles, 100% post-consumer. A concrete project, certainly not a “greenwashing” step.

At Merdenik Fancy Yarns they know Filo well: as Natalia Maksymova explains in the interview, before becoming exhibitors they were loyal visitors to the Yarn Fair. Filo no. 58 presented the company’s yarn collection, but the company is ready to make any yarn requested by the customers, fully responding to his needs. And in February 2023, with its stand at the 59th edition of Filo, Merdenik will be ready to open new collaborations again.

“The first experience as exhibitors of Filo is positive” says Sergio Padrão in the interview (in Portuguese, but translated into English simultaneously in the video). Polopique is a leading company that stands out for its verticality and continuous innovation in all phases of the production process. At Filo, their sustainable yarns were particularly successful, starting with those in recycled cotton. Polopique will present its new yarn collection at the 59th edition of Filo, on February 22nd and 23rd 2023.

For the first time at Filo, Comistra is a effective example of a company specialized in the creation of yarns from recycled material. In the interview that we propose here, Fabrizio Tesi explains: “for 102 years our company’s work has been about giving a second life to products that have reached the end of their journey”. It is a precise commitment to sustainability, which is also respect for the work of people, in a context – Tesi continues – where “often there is only green washing”.

Who better than the exhibitors can explain the reasons for participating in Filo? During the spring-summer, through the column “ILoveFilo”, twelve exhibiting companies “had their say” on the reasons that led them to choose to exhibit at the 56th edition of Filo, in a direct dialogue between professionals – from entrepreneur to entrepreneur. Now we go over these reasons again in a short video, a quick and festive collage of opinions.

“We take part in Filo since its first edition because it has always been a one-of-a-kind trade-show: it is a real international stage for weaving customers” – Christian Spirito, commercial manager of Davifil, says.

“Our strengths are the colors and the eco-sustainability of our product” Simone Gaslini, Product Manager of Filatura Astro, says.
