HYOSUNG TNC

Hyosung TNC, a core part of the Hyosung Group, has a rich history dating back to its establishment in 1957 as Tongyang Nylon. Over the past 67 years, the company has evolved into an industry-leading fiber company with a strong foothold in the global spandex market. Not only recognized for its technological prowess and superior quality, but Hyosung TNC also boasts innovative and eco-friendly fiber brands. In order to stay ahead in the competitive market and foster customer satisfaction, Hyosung TNC understands the importance of providing an integrated brand experience. Despite its reputation, Hyosung TNC believes that embracing change and being resilient are crucial to achieving further sales growth and enhancing customer convenience. To this end, the company has undergone a brand renewal, built on the strong foundation of its existing values and traditions, while also embracing innovation to align with evolving trends. The goal is to expand B2C2B awareness, bridging the gap between the company and customers, and positioning ourselves as a true sustainable fashion leader. Hyosung TNC proudly presents two renewed brands, CREORA and regen, which reflect its commitment to sustainable fashion and aspiration to become a lifestyle facilitator. Hyosung TNC envisions being a leader of new innovations and experiences that empower individuals to embrace sustainable choices and experiences that transcend ordinary lifestyles.

CREORA and regen, newly born brands.

Hyosung TNC previously divided its brands by product type, with various fiber brands including the world-leading CREORA spandex, as well as functional nylon and polyester fiber brands, and eco-friendly fiber brand, regen. Hyosung TNC's eco-friendly fiber brand, regen which is offered in the three fiber types, spandex, nylon and polyester, has gained attention as a brand that pursues sustainable fashion by solving both quality and environmental issues through outstanding sustainable recycled fiber technology with added functionality. Hyosung TNC undertook a significant brand renewal, aiming to establish a new brand system that transcends the limitations of a B2B company focused on yarn manufacturing and supply. The goal is to transform Hyosung TNC into a sustainable lifestyle facilitator that fosters an eco-friendly ecosystem to support customers' lifestyles and contribute to a sustainable future. This strategic move simplifies brand recognition for consumers and marks the initial step in Hyosung TNC's journey towards becoming a leading force in the fashion and lifestyle industry.

The functional fiber that soars higher, CREORA®

Hyosung TNC's CREORA® is a leading brand, representing high functionality and pioneering new lifestyles for consumers worldwide. CREORA®’s success is a result of relentless dedication to innovation and a differentiated marketing approach, all underpinned by a global network comprising specialized production and R&D teams, regional sales, and technical service experts worldwide, propelling the brand's growth. With proprietary production technology, Hyosung TNC drives the continuous development of new spandex products with a diverse range of functions, enhancing the quality of fiber products, optimizing customers' productivity.

- CREORA® COLOR+ : Regular spandex products have a characteristic of not being dyeable, while Color+ spandex products can be dyed with acid dyes together with nylon. They have excellent dyeability and washing resistance, which can improve the grin-through phenomenon on the fabric, and have the advantage of having deep, vivid colors on the fabric.

- CREORA® BLACK : This spandex addresses the grin-through problem commonly encountered in regular spandex, which causes a whitish appearance when dark-colored fabrics are stretched. This inherent black-colored spandex enables deep and luxurious colors that were previously unattainable with conventional materials.

- CREORA® Power Fit : This spandex has excellent elasticity and heat resistance, ensuring that the fabric retains its elasticity even during high-temperature setting or dyeing processes. Particularly, when dyed with dispersed dyes in combination with polyester yarn, it allows for high-temperature dyeing, resulting in outstanding colors and excellent colorfastness.

- CREORA® Highclo™ : This spandex is designed to overcome the issue of damage caused by chlorine exposure. It is mainly used in swimwear to enhance durability. Chlorine, which is commonly used for pool disinfection, and chlorine-based bleaching agents used during washing and processing can lead to degradation of spandex. However, this specialized spandex prevents such degradation, ensuring that swimwear maintains its durability over time.

- CREORA® Eco-Soft : This spandex boasts a low-temperature setting capability, providing a soft touch and pure white color. Unlike regular spandex, it can be heat-set at lower temperatures, preventing yellowing and heat damage when combined with heat-sensitive materials. It offers excellent dimensional stability and a smooth touch. Fabric manufacturers can achieve energy savings by reducing fuel consumption and cost-effectiveness by improving productivity through faster tethering speeds during the heat-setting process. This makes it an eco-friendly and economical choice for spandex.

- CREORA® SteamSet+ : This spandex is capable of steam-setting, offering excellent dimensional stability and a soft touch even without high-temperature heat-setting processes. It is used in products such as stockings, socks, and seamless garments that undergo steam-setting.

- CREORA® Soft Fit : This spandex, with its soft elasticity and powerful stretch, provides comfortable wear in clothing. It is primarily used in products such as socks and stockings, offering a comfortable fit.

- CREORA® Luminous : This spandex is used in the manufacturing process of Core Spun Yarn to inspect the presence of spandex within the relative yarn using UV light. It helps reduce quality defects in Core Spun Yarn, enabling the supply of higher-quality products to customers.

- CREORA® Comfort : This spandex is specifically designed for use in diapers, showcasing unrivaled technology in the hygiene products market.

Hyosung TNC's spandex brand, CREORA, produces exceptional and diverse types of spandex, including functional fibers like nylon and polyester. With Hyosung TNC’s overall brand renewal, CREORA is now being presented anew. Positioned as a leading brand that transcends consumers' lifestyle boundaries and pioneers new territories, CREORA is expected to play the role of a SUPER LIFESTYLE SEEKER, bringing forth exciting innovations. We look forward to witnessing CREORA's journey as it is reborn to lead the way in the industry.

A fiber that considers the environment, regen

Hyosung TNC is a company with advanced technology in producing eco-friendly versions of the three major synthetic fibers, spandex, nylon and polyester. Its integrated eco-friendly fiber brand, regen, emerged as an environmentally friendly fiber brand in the early 2000s, when fast fashion was gaining prominence. Even during times when the fashion industry paid little attention to environmental concerns, Hyosung TNC dedicated efforts to developing and researching eco-friendly yarns. In 2007, a significant breakthrough was achieved with the successful development of regen Ocean Nylon, utilizing materials recovered from discarded fishing nets and ropes, making Hyosung TNC the first in the world to do so. In 2008, they continued our pioneering efforts by producing regen Polyester, made from recycled PET bottles. Today, Hyosung TNC stands as a company producing high-performance recycled yarn, including the three major synthetic fibers, and operates under the eco-friendly fiber brand, regen.

regen Spandex: This eco-friendly product is created by Hyosung TNC, combining our excellent CREORA Spandex technology and recycling technology with 100% recycled waste materials. Compared to regular spandex production, it reduces carbon emissions by approximately 60%. Producing one ton of regen Spandex is equivalent to the carbon reduction effect of planting 889 pine trees over 30 years.

regen Nylon : Hyosung TNC is one of the world's first to develop the technology for producing industrial waste-recycled nylon, regen Nylon. We have since been producing various functional nylons, such as regen Aqua-X nylon, which provides cooling and quick-drying properties for swimwear and activewear, and regen Robic nylon, a strong and lightweight eco-friendly nylon with excellent resistance to wind, impact, friction, and abrasion.

Regen Ocean Nylon: Hyosung TNC produces regen Ocean Nylon, a yarn made from discarded fishing nets, which are considered a major culprit in marine ecosystem destruction. By utilizing these discarded fishing nets and promoting resource circulation, regen Ocean Nylon adds new value to ocean waste fishing nets without incinerating them. To ensure a continuous supply and production, Hyosung TNC is expanding its depolymerization facilities.

Regen Polyester: Hyosung TNC has garnered attention for its eco-friendly recycled polyester fiber, made from collected discarded PET bottles, which incorporates various functionalities. The company has developed a range of eco-friendly materials with diverse functionalities, such as regen Askin with cooling properties, regen Cotna preserving the soft touch of cotton fabric, regen Aerolight with exceptional lightweight features, regen Aerosilver with antimicrobial capabilities, regen Xanadu with excellent stretchability, and regen Aerocool designed for quick-drying properties.

Regen Ocean Polyester:  Hyosung TNC collects waste PET bottles in theocean to produce regen Ocean Polyester, ensuring that plastic flowing into the sea does not threaten marine life. The company’s efforts in preventing marine ecosystem pollution have been recognized, and Hyosung TNC has received the OBP (Ocean Bound Plastic) certification.

Hyosung TNC aims to create a sustainable loop by utilizing environmentally conscious fiber technology, envisioning a greener future. Through our brand revamping, regen has been established as the leading brand for eco-friendly fiber materials, seeking to enhance its recognition among consumers and solidify Hyosung TNC’s position in the global market while expanding its reach.

Hyosung TNC has undergone a total brand renewal, driven by eco-friendly technological innovations, to go beyond being a fiber supplier and emerge as a lifestyle facilitator. With a commitment to surpassing the boundaries of consumer lifestyles and leading in new territories, the company seeks to establish our leading functional brand, CREORA, as a trailblazer in innovation and experiences. Simultaneously, the eco-friendly fiber brand, regen, envisions a greener future, creating a sustainable loop through environmentally conscious fiber technology. Now, with these two brands, Hyosung TNC aims to take on a new role as a lifestyle facilitator, delivering new endeavors and efforts. Anticipate our contribution to the latest fiber trends and leading the way in driving changes and innovations in lifestyles. We hope you look forward to witnessing the transformation of Hyosung TNC.
