NOCTURNO in the spotlight

Pitti Filati 95 came to an end on June 27, 2024 after three days in Florence. At 3,500, the number of visitors reached the level of the previous year's event. With a 49% share of the total number of participants, the international trade public was slightly more strongly represented than at the previous year's fair and came from over 50 countries.

Among the foreign markets, the United Kingdom, the USA, China, Turkey, Spain, Switzerland, Japan, the Netherlands and Denmark recorded growth; however, the figures in France and Germany fell slightly.

STOLL was also represented with a stand at this year's Pitti Filati. The flat knitting machine specialist of the KARL MAYER GROUP introduced its new trend collection NOCTURNO and developments from STOLL ITALIA, which were created in collaboration with the yarn manufacturer IAFIL Industria Ambrosiana Filati S.p.A. The digital software products of the CREATE family were demonstrated on request.

In addition to its participation as an exhibitor, STOLL, together with three other companies, led the "Training Days" project at Pitti Filati designed for the professional development of the entire community of operators.

STOLL's trade fair presentation at this year's Pitti Filati was organised by its subsidiary STOLL ITALIA and was a complete success.

My TEXTILE NEWS editor Ulrike Schlenker asked Jörg Hartmann, Head of Fashion & Technology at STOLL, for his feedback on the trade fair. Here you can find the interview.
