Hyosung TNC has partnered with lifestyle-wear specialist Grity to create new products using cutting-edge materials. The companies announced on March 24 that they recently signed a technical research agreement at Grity’s headquarters to formalize their collaboration.
Under the agreement, Grity will incorporate Hyosung TNC’s high-performance fabrics across its core brands. The two firms will work together from materials research for flagship lines — including the Gamtan Bra — through product development and market launches.
As part of that collaboration, they co-developed a fabric called AquaFresh25 and applied it to Grity’s seamless underwear line, the Gamtan Bra. Last month, Grity launched the standard and large-cup versions of the new 2025 AirSoft model.
AquaFresh25 blends Hyosung TNC’s cooling nylon yarn CREORA® Aqua‑X with its odor-control spandex CREORA® Fresh. The resulting high-performance fabric delivers noticeable cooling, excellent stretch and durability, moisture-wicking and quick-dry performance, and deodorizing action that chemically neutralizes sweat-related odors. It also offers a soft, slightly moist, cool hand feel and a body-hugging fit. The Gamtan Bra 2025 AirSoft, made with AquaFresh25 and a proprietary soft mold, is designed for long-lasting comfort while preserving a flattering silhouette and precise fit.
Kim Chi‑hyung, CEO of Hyosung TNC, said, \"After close communication with Grity since last year, we’re proud to have achieved this meaningful product-development milestone. We plan to deepen our collaboration on technical research, product development, and launches going forward.\"
The companies said they plan to expand the collaboration beyond the Gamtan Bra across Grity’s entire brand portfolio, including Wonderbra, Playtex, Just My Size, Benetton, Juicy Couture, and Witt.
