Join us in the Milan area, Italy, on 23-24 March 2026 for the fourth ‘Textile ETP on Tour’, an event focusing on defence and protection, organised in partnership with Centrocot.
Participants will visit Centrocot, a certification and research center for companies throughout the textile, apparel and fashion production chain, with guided tours of its defence and protection testing laboratories. A dedicated workshop on defence and protection technologies will provide deeper insights into current challenges, innovative materials, and emerging industry practices, encouraging discussion and collaboration among attendees.
The programme will continue with visits to SAATI, a manufacturer of venting membranes, woven fabrics and chemicals used in the fields of filtration, screen printing, ballistic protection and architecture, and GRASSI, a company producing technical clothing for the professional sector, the public administration and the sports and fashion worlds with a strong focus on innovation and sustainability, offering a closer look at their facilities and expertise.
Bringing together Textile ETP members, Centrocot's network, and the textile ecosystem of the Lombardy region, the event will offer unique opportunities for knowledge sharing, networking, and exploring innovations shaping the sector.
This event is exclusively for Textile ETP members, registration will be required and only allow a limited number of participants. Interested in joining? Get in touch to find out more, or subscribe directly below.
