This collaboration sees Hwasung becoming the first Korean mill to integrate Empel technology into its offerings, catering to both global footwear giants and regional clients.
Traditionally, sustainability in textile finishes often came at the cost of performance. However, GTT's Empel platform defies this notion, as highlighted by Martin Flora, GTT's President of Global Business Development. He emphasizes that Empel not only enhances sustainability but also bolsters performance, presenting a win-win scenario for manufacturers, partner brands, and the environment.
Empel's versatility extends across various textile sectors, including outdoor gear, high fashion, footwear, automotive, and military applications. By eliminating water from the treatment process, Empel not only enhances sustainability but also aids in reducing pollution and waste in textile manufacturing.

With Hwasung International onboard, GTT strengthens its position in combating textile-related water pollution and eliminating harmful chemicals from global supply chains. This partnership underscores a collective commitment to sustainable practices in the textile industry, marking a significant step towards a greener future.
