South Korean material supplier Hyosung participated in the Textiles India 2017, an international textile tradeshow held in India for the first time this year, hosted by India’s Ministry of Textiles. Hyosung decided to join the event at the request of Rashmi Verma, vice minister of India’s Ministry of Textiles who visited South Korea in May.
Hyosung had the largest booth for a single company at the event. It showcased a full lineup of its products such as spandex, nylon and polyester threads, automotive and commercial carpets, carbon fiber and aramid.
The Korean firm introduced Creora, the worlds’ No. 1 spandex brand, which includes products dubbed “Fit²†for denim, “Fresh†that eliminates odors and “Color+†that improves the representation of colors in textiles.
Hyosung opened its office in New Delhi in 2007 and turned it into a regional subsidiary in 2011, eyeing growth of the textiles market in the country. The group had a turnover of US$300 million (343.05 billion won) in various industries, such as textile, raw material and heavy industry, as of last year.
