August 2026 marks a new collaboration between leading European Aquatics brand BECO adopting CREORA® Highclo Elastane to elevate performance of its products dedicated to those active in and around the water.
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 water and 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. 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.”
Andreas Puchert, Hyosung European Marketing Manager – Textiles
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. 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.”
