The 62nd edition of Filo will open tomorrow, on Wednesday the 18th, at Allianz MiCo – Milan (Gate 16 – via Gattamelata 5).

The undiscussed protagonists of the 62nd edition of Filo are the yarns, the fibres, and the materials proposed by the exhibitors, as a result of an intense research work and of the passion of those companies which are perfectly aware of their social and environmental responsibility.

The agenda of the two days of fair is rich in meetings and debates. The first one is the inauguration ceremony scheduled to be held on Wednesday, September the 18th, at 10.30 a.m., entitled “Green Innovation in Europe. Through RegioGreenTex Project, Biella and Prato bring the companies towards the future of textile industry”.
The speakers will be: Paolo Monfermoso, Responsible for Filo; Matteo Masini, Manager of Consumer Goods Department of ITA- the Agency for the promotion and the internationalisation of Italian companies abroad; Marco Bortolini, President of the section Spinning Mills of the Unione Industriale Biellese; Paola Fontana, Città Studi – Po.in.tex Project Manager, who will present the project “RegioTexGreen”.
A round table will follow together with: Federico De Martini, General Manager of DBT Fibre; Moreno Marchesini, COO Operations – Director of OFFICINA+39; Fabio Giusti, Owner, and R&D Manager of Trafi Creatività Tessile; Giampiero Colò, Administrative and Financial Director of Marini Industrie. The moderator will be Alessandra Chiara Guffanti, Owner of Guffanti Concept Showroom.

Later, during the two days of fair, there will be the meetings held in the scope of the “Dialoghi di Confronto” (click here to discover the full program) dedicated to the essential topics of upcoming textile industry: the protagonists are special guests, bringing their first-hand accounts of their commitment in research, innovation, sustainability, and textile culture.
