Sustainable textile solutions provider Hyosung is collaborating with two of the leading global seamless companies, Tefron and Santoni, to introduce a new generation of sustainable sportswear and seamless apparel made with its certified and multi-functional yarns.
The three companies unveiled their collaborative product at ISPO Munich 2023. Santoni introduced its first-ever capsule collection of seamless materials made with Hyosung USDA, SGS-certified Creora Bio-Based elastane, RCS-certified 100 percent recycled Creora regen elastane, and soft-stretch Creora EasyFlex made on its seamless knitting machines. The collection features terry knitting solutions to produce different padding effects based on higher protection and comfort.
Said Susie Barak, Business Director of seamless knitting experts Tefron: “By integrating Tefron’s […] expertise in seamless knitting with Hyosung’s Creora bio-based yarn, the partnership paves the way for innovative designs and styles that were previously challenging to achieve with traditional materials and manufacturing techniques.”
Other benefits of the collaboration include traceable, certified fibers, performance and innovative design and versatility.
At the Santoni ISPO booth, the Italian knitting machine manufacturer introduced its new Santoni SM8-Top2ST machine, a variant of its best-selling Santoni SM8-TOP2V that allows for the creation of sculptured terry patterns and upgraded seamless designs.
