A strong textile supply chain depends on an efficient and well-connected trade fair ecosystem. With this shared vision, Filo and Lineapelle have decided to deepen their collaboration. In February 2026, the two leading trade fairs will not only run on the same dates but will also share exhibition space, offering visitors a wider and more integrated view of the textile industry’s future.
Building on the success of their previous overlapping schedules, Filo and Lineapelle will now take their synergy further. Both fairs will be held on February 11–12, 2026, and will occupy Hall 5 at Fiera Milano Rho. While they will share space and timing, each event will retain its distinct identity. The organisation, management, and teams of the two fairs will continue to operate independently.
Pier Francesco Corcione, CEO of Assoservizi Biella, the company behind Filo, highlighted the importance of collaboration across the textile value chain. He noted that every stage and skill contributes to excellence and that the partnership with Lineapelle strengthens the development of products rooted in quality, creativity, and sustainability. According to him, collaboration and innovation remain essential to meeting global market challenges while respecting tradition and future-focused design.
Fulvia Bacchi, CEO of Lineapelle, echoed this sentiment. She explained that in a complex market environment, further impacted by logistical challenges linked to the Olympics, the two fairs have embraced aggregation and shared solutions. She added that this synergy can only create value for the industry.
The joint event will bring together two key segments of textile manufacturing. Visitors can explore Filo65, showcasing yarns and fibres, alongside Lineapelle, presenting leathers, fabrics, accessories, and components. Together, the fairs will offer a comprehensive overview of innovation and excellence in textile manufacturing.
