Hyosung, a leading spandex producer, has partnered with Best Pacific to launch a new range of fabrics with MIPAN Aqua X and creora Fresh at ISPO Munich, which takes place from 5-8 February 2017.

The Best Pacific and Hyosung strategic co-operation was designed to offer activewear brands and retailers a concept to meet consumer needs for confident performance with moisture management, UV protection, comfort, fit and freshness from odour neutralising technologies, the company reports.

“We are focused on delivering newest innovations in fabrics, elastics, and seamless garments to active and outdoor customers,” said Kevin Zan, General Manager of Sports Division of Best Pacific Textiles. “The partnership with Hyosung allows us to deliver customer oriented solutions integrated in our collection of various offerings.”
