-Introducing various materials made of flame-retardant Firex
-Providing consulting support for customer businesses
Hyosung, a leader in the world's synthetic fiber industry, is participating in the 2006 Heimtextil Frankfurt (January 11 through 14), along with four customer businesses, i.e. Overseas,Seatex,Taekwang, Youjin and Saechang.
Heimtextile is an annual international exhibition for home textiles and house textiles, the largest of its kind in the world. Every year, more than 3,000 businesses from 70 countries attend the event, with about 90,000 visitors.
At the event, Hyosung is introducing functional products, made of Firex (a flame-retardant fiber), such as curtains (including roll screens), blackouts, beddings, wallpapers, interior materials used in kitchens, bathrooms, ships, airplanes and trains.
Firex is welcomed, particularly in Europe, as an environmental-friendly material free from toxic gas, such as dioxin, when burned. Hyosung is attempting to advance into the contract market in Europe, the America and Japan for materials used in ships, airplanes and trains, in addition to the existing home textile market.
Other functional products Hyosung is introducing at the Frankfurt event include M2 (an ultra thin, environmental-friendly fiber), Single Top (a curtain material characterized by its high durability and luster), and Aerosilver (an antimicrobial yarn that absorbs and dries sweat quickly).
Hyosung has successfully operated the customer relationship management system (CRMS), inviting loyal customer firms to attend prestigious exhibitions, both at home and abroad. The Frankfurt event is no exception. Hyosung allows four customer firms display their products at its booth, the largest one among Korean businesses, providing them with seasonal trend information and one-on-one consulting on product preparation.
A leading business group in Korea boasting international competitiveness in textiles, heavy industries, chemistry and information/telecom, Hyosung has a total of 26 local corporations in the U.S. and China and 17 branches around the world, including Milan and Barcelona. It ranks as the world’s No.1 in polyester tire cord and the No.2 in the production of spandex.
