Quality, creativity, and sustainability are the three key words that have driven Filo and Lineapelle to seek a closer collaboration. The two trade shows are a benchmark in their respective sectors, and in February 2026, they will share not only the same dates, as was the case for the fall edition, but also the same exhibition space, offering visitors to both trade fairs a broader perspective on future developments in the textile industry.

Synergies between Filo and Lineapelle are being strengthened, while each fair maintains its own identity and specificity. Naturally, the organization, management, and staff of the two fairs will also remain separate. However, the dates – February 11 and 12, 2026 – and the spaces in Hall 5 of Fiera Milano Rho will be shared.

Paolo Monfermoso, manager of Filo, explains the decision: “The decision to hold Filo and Lineapelle on the same days, sharing the same spaces at Fiera Milano Rho, responds to the specific need to offer visitors an increasingly effective and timely work platform. In an era where the industry’s timeframes are increasingly tight and close together, the concurrence of the two fairs in both time and space allows buyers to discover the textile collections of a large number of companies, broadening the horizon of ideas, providing space for research and innovation, and paving the way for unprecedented collaboration opportunities along the supply chain. We at Filo are flattered that a major fair like Lineapelle has shared the idea of strengthening the synergy that already bound us: it is recognition of the work done in recent years and the role Filo has earned on the international trade fair scene.”
