TTCE participates in ‘Automotive Interiors Expo 2026’

TTCE participates in ‘Automotive Interiors Expo 2026’

TTCE (Toray Textiles Central Europe s.r.o.) participated in Automotive Interiors Expo Europe 2026, held in Germany from June 23 to 25, to respond to changes in the European automotive materials market. At the exhibition, TTCE showcased “Airlite®,” a high-performance sound-absorbing material for automotive applications, and its newly developed material “Airlite® MonoPP.”“Airlite®” is a lightweight nonwoven sound-absorbing material based on a melt-blown process that combines polypropylene (PP) and polyester (PET). It is characterized by excellent sound absorption performance across a wide range of frequencies.The newly introduced “Airlite® MonoPP” retains the strengths of the existing Airlite® while simplifying the material composition to a single PP material. This enables material integration with PP-based automotive interior materials.As European Union (EU) regulations related to end-of-life vehicle treatment continue to become stricter, designs that facilitate material separation and recycling at the vehicle disposal stage are becoming increasingly important. Airlite® MonoPP is expected to respond to these market needs.TTCE also introduced changes in the European automotive market, the development direction of Airlite® MonoPP, and its technical features at a conference held during the exhibition, receiving positive responses from participants.A TTCE representative said, “We will continue to expand the application areas of high-performance sound-absorbing materials in the European automotive interior materials market, pursue the development of new customers, and provide high-performance material solutions that meet the needs of the automotive industry.”

TAK Holds Completion Ceremony for Meta-Aramid Unit 2 Expansion

Toray Advanced Materials Korea(TAK) held a completion ceremony on June 16 for the expansion of its Meta-Aramid Fiber Unit 2, with an annual capacity of 3,000 tons, at Gumi Plant 1 in Gumi, Gyeongsangbuk-do.Through the expansion, TAK has secured a total annual production capacity of 5,400 tons, including its existing production lines, and established a stable supply system to respond to growing global demand.The ceremony was attended by around 120 participants, including Lee Chul-woo, governor of North Gyeongsang Province, Gumi Mayor Kim Jang-ho, National Assembly members Koo Jakeun and Kang Myunggu, and other city and provincial officials, as well as Tomonobu Nishimura, Senior Vice President and General Manager of the Fibers & Textiles Division at Toray Industries, Inc., Motohisa Kuno, Chairman of TAK, and President Kim Young-seop of TAK.TAK was the first company in Korea to establish a mass production system for meta-aramid fiber based on the dry spinning process. Leveraging its world-class quality and technological capabilities, the company has strengthened its competitiveness in the global market. TAK will continue to solidify trust with customers and the market by enhancing its differentiated R&D capabilities and expanding its lineup of high-value-added products.Earlier this year, TAK showcased its technological competitiveness by participating in Techtextil 2026 in Germany, IEEE PES T&D 2026 in the United States, and International Fire & Safety Expo Korea 2026 in Korea.Meta-aramid fiber is a super fiber with outstanding heat resistance, flame retardancy and excellent electrical insulation properties, maintaining its performance even at temperatures above 200°C. Demand is expanding across a wide range of advanced industries, including power infrastructure, eco-friendly mobility, defense and industrial safety.In particular, as the AI and data center markets continue to expand, the stability and efficiency of power equipment are becoming increasingly important, further increasing the role of meta-aramid fiber with high heat resistance and high insulation performance.President Kim Young-seop stated, “This expansion is an important investment to respond to the growth of future advanced industries,” adding, “TAK will continue materials innovation that supports the future of industry through constant change and innovation, while also contributing further to revitalizing the local economy and strengthening the competitiveness of Korea’s advanced industries.”
