Like many textile trade shows, and Milano Unica is no exception, the fair’s aisles were busy, not bustling.

The atmosphere was all the more focused with impromptu meetings, the serendipity of in-person events, lending a relatively upbeat atmosphere to the July 2026 edition. A total of 737 companies exhibited, a 15% increase, with Italian mills accounting for 62% of the total.
