Authentico® at Filo International Yarn Exhibition
Another interesting and exciting moment for Authentico® at Filo, the international exhibition of yarns and fibres held in Milan, Italy, this year at its 62nd edition on September 18, 2024. Mostly dedicated to yarns for weaving applications, the event showcased high-quality yarn collections for the upcoming fashion season Spring Summer ‘26 and it served as a key platform for designers, manufacturers, media and buyers in the textile and fashion industries.
Schneider and its accredited partner Marzotto Group were invited to take part to the Filo Dialogues in the exhibition Networking Area to present the Authentico® by Schneider Group & Marzotto Group partnership, launched two months earlier at Milano Unica fabric exhibition in July, standing for an innovative, global, completely traceable and transparent wool supply chain from farm to garment.
On stage we had:
Debora Tricarico – Authentico® Brand Manager
Tim Marwedel – Managing Director of G. Schneider Australia
Vincenzo Tumino – Marzotto Group Wool Buyer
Ludovico Zegna – Marzotto Group Marketing and Communication Manager
moderated by Giusy Bettoni, Founder and CEO of C.L.A.S.S., communication office for Authentico® and Schneider, the conversation started with the history of the Authentico® program in Australia to continue on what it means to be an Authentico® partner today.
Tim Marwedel’s intervention gave voice to the Authentico growers and brokers. He has contributed substantially to the program since its early days back in 1997, thanks to the great relationship with local stakeholders built in over 30 years with Schneider.
Vincenzo and Ludovico from Marzotto could not stress more the competitive advantage they have as a textile company to tap into a traced, fully verified wool supply chain, a key factor to satisfy nowadays luxury needs in terms of risk management and sustainable targets.
Sharing Authentico® experience at farm, combing, spinning, weaving and finishing stages is paramount to give visibility to the great joint effort we are making together as a community of passionate professionals in the area of sustainable sourcing.
