After 64 editions, Modtissimo textile trade fair was renamed MOD’Unica, continuing to affirm itself on the international scene as the only trade fair dedicated to promoting the Portuguese textile and clothing industry. In a statement, ATP – Textile and Clothing Association of Portugal, who organizes the event, explains the new name.
‘Why MOD’Unica? Because Made in Portugal is in Fashion; because we have not forgotten our origins, because we are a model and an example of excellence and innovation, because Portuguese T&C has a unique way of creating and developing valuable proposals and we want the fair to demonstrate exactly this uniqueness, and because we want to continue to be the only fair dedicated to the industry,‘ says the board.’
MOD’Unica was thus created to reflect the strength and scope of the national textile and clothing cluster, made up of spinning, weaving, knitting, finishing, technical textiles, clothing, home textiles and differentiated services companies. In essence, to ‘affirm Portugal as a hub of excellence on the global stage, capable of responding to global challenges, with a focus on innovation, sustainability and social responsibility’. With the support of Spormex, ATP is organizing the first edition of MOD’Unica on 26 and 27 February in Pavilion 1 of Exponor, in Matosinhos.
