Hyosung TNC and BECO Collaborate on 2026-2027 Aqua Sport Collection
Leading European Aquatics brand adopts CREORA® Highclo Elastane to elevate performance of its products dedicated to those active in and around the water
August 4, 2026 – Seoul, South Korea – As consumers place greater value on apparel that lasts longer and performs better, brands are increasingly turning to advanced textile technologies that enhance durability, comfort and everyday performance.
When it comes to swimwear and aqua fitness apparel, consumers rely on BECO, a leading German-based swim and aqua sport brand that has been delivering performance products for people who love the waterand an active lifestyle for nearly a century.
In its ongoing aim to deliver swimwear that maintains its fit, comfort, and performance even after repeated exposure to chlorine, the company has recently adopted Hyosung TNC’s CREORA® Highclo Elastane as its chosen stretch solution for select SS 2026 and AW 2027 swimwear and aqua sport collections.
CREORA® Highclo is a chlorine resistant elastane with high power, which is more durable than conventional spandex often used in swimwear by leading brands worldwide. Its excellent compression maintains swimwear’s enduring shape and a firm fit, even at higher temperatures further extending the life of a product.
“We are thrilled with our new partnership with such an esteemed brand know by passionate water sports enthusiasts in the DACH region and beyond,” said Andreas Puchert, Hyosung European Marketing Manager – Textiles. “Our partnership with BECO is built on a shared commitment to innovation, helping them continue their century-long legacy of delivering the exceptional quality, functionality, and craftsmanship their loyal consumers expect.”
A leader in swimwear and aquatic sports, BECO offers an extensive range of performance swimwear, water sports apparel and swimming equipment. Designed with premium materials, functional innovation and modern styling, its products support swimmers of all ages and abilities—from first lessons to elite competition.
“At BECO, functionality and quality are the foundation of every product we develop, which means choosing materials that perform under real conditions and last over time,” said Thomas Pestel, BECO Director Sales & Marketing. “With its outstanding chlorine resistance and long-lasting performance, CREORA® Highclo Elastane aligns perfectly with these requirements, making Hyosung an ideal partner to help us deliver the reliability and performance our customers expect.”
“We look forward to advancing the next generation of stretch solutions that help our customers create products with lasting performance, greater value and a more sustainable future,” said Puchert.
