Filo and Lineapelle Unite for Joint Trade Fair in Feb 2026

A resilient and future-ready textile industry depends on a closely connected supply chain supported by an integrated trade fair ecosystem. Guided by this shared vision, Filo and Lineapelle have announced a deeper collaboration for February 2026, bringing two of the textile sector’s most influential trade fairs together under one roof.

Building on the successful alignment of their autumn editions, Filo and Lineapelle will not only share dates but also exhibition space for their upcoming winter edition. The fairs will take place on 11–12 February 2026 at Hall 5, Fiera Milano Rho, offering visitors a comprehensive and forward-looking view of the textile, leather and accessories value chain.

While reinforcing their synergies, both exhibitions will retain their individual identities, formats and organizational structures. The management teams, operations and staff of Filo and Lineapelle will continue to function independently, ensuring that each fair preserves its distinctive positioning and sector focus.

Commenting on the collaboration, Pier Francesco Corcione, CEO of Assoservizi Biella, organizer of Filo, stated:

“The value of the textile sector stems from the strength of the supply chain: every step, every skill contributes to creating excellence. Filo’s synergy with Lineapelle, the leading trade fair for the leather and accessories sector, is essential for developing products that combine quality, creativity, and sustainability. Only through collaboration and innovation can we strengthen our manufacturing and successfully meet the challenges of global markets, continuing to offer solutions that interpret style and tradition with an eye to the future.”

Echoing this perspective, Fulvia Bacchi, CEO of Lineapelle, added:

“In a still-overwhelming market environment, with logistical challenges stemming from the Olympics, Lineapelle and Filo have embraced the current buzzwords: aggregation and sharing. A synergy that can only benefit the market.”

The joint February 2026 edition will showcase the yarns and fibres of Filo65 alongside leathers, fabrics, accessories and components from Lineapelle, creating a unified platform that highlights innovation, sustainability and craftsmanship across key segments of textile manufacturing.
