The 45th edition of Filo, the international yarns and fibres\u2019 exhibition, has closed today in a certainly positive atmosphere: in a fair characterized by proven success, a further increase of visitors has been registered, especially foreign ones.
\nPaolo Monfermoso confirms: \u2018The 45th edition of Filo has closed in a certainly positive atmosphere. Visitors\u2019 flow has been continuous along the two days of the fair, in particular, during the first day the flow of buyers has been higher than expected. Our exhibitors represent the top of yarn producers\u2019 market segment and they confirm they received a high number of both Italian and foreign visitors, who had shown a real interest for the collections that have been exhibited. The increase of foreign visitors \u2013 together with the increase of foreign exhibitors (that today account for 30% out of the total) \u2013 represent an early result in our effort to widen and make more efficient communication, in particular towards those markets which can offer interesting opportunities for exhibiting companies. In pursuing this goal, we have been supported by Italian Trade Agency \u2013 ITA for years, promoting the arrival of foreign buyers\u2019 delegation to the fair, coming from Japan, Turkey, France, UK, Spain, Portugal and Lithuania for this edition\u2019.
\nMarilena Bolli too, president of Unione Industriale Biellese, has focused on internationalisation as a key factor for success of textile manufacturing companies, during the Filo\u2019s inauguration within the conference \u2018The thread of internationalisation\u2019, organised in cooperation with Italian Trade Agengy – ITA and Sistema Moda Italia. \u2018Internationalisation is strategic for textile companies \u2013 as Bolli said \u2013 however, for small companies, as the ones of this sector usually are, is not easy to look onto foreign markets, especially if they are distant. Therefore, the fairs have to support and cooperate with them in promoting \u2018Made in Italy\u2019 abroad, creating networks and offering a whole and uniform view on the production of Italian textile pipeline, as Filo has already shown through the cooperation with Milano Unica as far as FiloShangai is concerned\u2019.
\nGianfranco Di Natale, general manager of Sistema Moda Italia, expressing its approval for yarns\u2019 fair, has highlighted its satisfaction because \u2018Filo has entered the extraordinary Plan for Made in Italy\u2019. Internationalisation is by now an obligation for the companies and that\u2019s why the Federation is sustaining them in this effort\u2019. The other key element highlighted by Marilena Bolli is innovation. In order to foster an \u2018innovation that cannot be achieved without cooperation\u2019 \u2013 as Marco Bardelle, president of PoinTex, defined it \u2013 Filo has developed through the Textile Innovation Cluster an initiative which has been really appreciated by exhibitors and visitors.
\nBardelle has commented that \u2018Filo gave us a big opportunity to show to operators the results of our research\u2019s activities and the possibility to carry out new projects. The cooperation existing between Unione Industriale Biellese and Citt\u00e0 Studi of Biella results to be even more stronger and it represents a fundamental cooperation for textile future, since it matches school and industry. As also the invitation of Ercole Botto Poala to participate in Milano Unica shows, the change regarding textile industry has already started, even though the current need is to make it operating.
\nThe satisfaction for the work carried out in this 45th Filo edition clearly emerges from off-the-cuff remarks of exhibitors.
\nChiara Fanciullacci from Safil considers \u2018strongly positive this Filo edition. It\u2019s the first time that Safil exhibits with S\u00fcd Volle, showing a unified collection. The client\u2019s flow has been high and constant, both Italian and foreign one, especially Turkish.
\nRoberto Rimoldi from Filatura Luisa expresses its satisfaction: \u2018The fair performed well, with a high number of clients, also foreign ones. I think it\u2019s important to stress that the buyers\u2019 delegation promoted by Italian Trade Agengy -ITA for this edition has been truly valuable, well-selected and qualified. Our new collection of naturals, with a high research content, has been really appreciated\u2019.
\nNicoletta Meriglio from Botto Poala says \u2018We are satisfied with the trend of these two days of Filo: we have met a lot of buyers, also foreign ones. More qualified users, interested in the whole products\u2019 range and in particular to those deriving from research in fibres and aspects. Fancies and H2Dry treatment \u2013 a patent of ours \u2013 that gives comfort and performance to garments – have risen curiosity and attention.
\nAndrea Ongetta from Ongetta confirmed that it was \u2018a very positive edition, an improvement compared to the already positive previous editions.
\nAmong the products, buyers have focused on blends. Potting systems for fixing salicin have been appreciated too, all made of light\u2019s reflection\u2019.
\nVincenzo Caneparo from Davifil is truly satisfied \u2018We have welcomed lots of visitors during both the days of the exhibition. Moreover, Filo confirms to be a fair of a very high standard. Buyers have appreciated especially natural yarns, an already proven trend, which stresses an increasingly stronger attention on products\u2019 quality and eco-friendly productions.
\nGiovanni Marchi from Marchi e Fildi highlights that \u2018In this edition we have a constant movement, lots of new and already consolidated clients, Italian and foreign ones, especially Turkish. Clients appraise new proposals, products which innovate compared to usual. Also our yarns addressed to a higher market range have risen interest. By the way, our company favours service as constant research of product, but also as accurate organisation of techniques and commercial structures, trying than to satisfy our costumers entirely\u2019.
\nAlso Angelo Della Porta from Pozzi Electa evaluates positively the exhibition: \u2018We have recorded a positive participation of buyers, higher compared to previous editions. Generally, during Filo we receive our traditional clients, interested in discovering the news of our proposals, while in these two days we have created new contacts too\u2019.
\nAlberto Enoch from Servizi e Seta stresses how \u2018the evaluation of the two days of the fair is very positive: we have work very well, with a high flow of visitors, high qualified ones. Among foreigners, we have received visits of American, Japanese and Korean customers: all of them of high level.
\nPaolo Aglietta from Italfil confirmed that it was a \u2018very positive edition, with a flow higher than the one of previous editions. We are very satisfied also with buyers\u2019 level that visited us: truly competent and interested in knowing the different aspects of shown products\u2019.<\/p>\n
Alessio Catani from Filatura C4 says that \u2018We are very pleased about the contacts we have made, that have been created all with operators of high level. For us too the experience is strongly positive, considering that it was the first time we exhibited our products, and we surely will repeat it\u2019.
\nThe 46th edition of Filo will be held at Palazzo delle Stelline in Milan, as always, on the 28th and 29th of September 2016.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
