Joining the Madrid decoration and home textiles event in 1996, Dilina Têxteis already has 54 participation in Intergift. “It has been a good opportunity to see our customers and show new products. The first Intergift fair of this year 2022 went very well, and generally, the fair in September is better”, considers António Dinis, the Commercial Director. As for novelties, Dilina Têxteis will present “duvet bags in dyed linen, fabric for sheets in 180, 200, 300, 400, 500 and 600 threads in percale and satin and low-twist and jacquard terry towels”, adds António Dinis for whom the Spanish market continues to be the principal market.

Also already a heavyweight in the Intergift participation, Rio Sul, which has been present at the event since 2008, confesses that the same edition went well above expectations. “We had good results with the fair, even superior to the last pre-pandemic editions”, reveals - for this reason - Joana Correia, Product and Purchasing Director, is confident with the next edition of the Madrid fair.
