Febratex, the largest textile industry event in the Americas, recently concluded its 18th edition, marking a new milestone. The event took place at the Parque Vila Germanica in Blumenau, Santa Catarina, Brazil, from August 2024. With over 2,700 brands participating and 550 booths spread across eight sectors and the Galego area, the exhibition covered an impressive total area of more than 35,000 square meters. This significant scale attracted approximately 80,000 visitors over its four-day intense schedule.

The event not only served as a crucial meeting point for idea exchange and networking but also provided a fertile ground for substantial business generation. According to Febratex Group's latest news, the 2024 edition achieved a remarkable 71.5% circularity rate and earned the Zero Waste Slogan certification. This achievement highlights Febratex Group's commitment to sustainable management practices.

During the event, Hélvio Pompeo, President of Febratex Group, and An Febratex Group were featured in an episode of uModeCast. The episode emphasized innovation and growth within the textile industry.
