The LYCRA Company will highlight products designed to meet consumer needs and help reduce the environmental impact of apparel products:
- Bio-derived LYCRA® fiber made with QIRA®, the industry’s first renewable spandex available at scale, will launch in the first half of 2025.

Visitors to the Econogy Hub (Hall 5.1, Booth A36) will discover through an immersive experience in a replica cornfield how this patented innovation can help accelerate decarbonization in the fashion industry.
- LYCRA® FiT400™ fiber is a unique bicomponent fiber engineered to optimize the comfort and performance of knits while delivering a durable, soft hand feel, all-day stretch, long-lasting fit, and cooling comfort. This Global Recycled Standard-certified fiber contains 60% recycled PET and 14.4% bio-derived resources.
- COOLMAX® EcoMade fiber made from 100% textile waste delivers cool and dry comfort to various garment types, while THERMOLITE® EcoMade fiber made from 100% textile waste adds lightweight warmth.
“We are thrilled to showcase our sustainable solutions at Intertextile that will help our customers reduce their carbon footprint and support their sustainability goals,” said Jason Wang, vice president, Asia. “We look forward to helping attendees find the consumer-driven, market-relevant branded solutions they need to take their business to the next level.”
The LYCRA Company will also showcase LYCRA® ADAPTIV fiber, one of the company’s fastest-growing products. Brands and retailers worldwide appreciate how it enables inclusive sizing and delivers a second-skin fit, enhanced comfort in motion, and greater functionality to activewear, intimate apparel, denim, and more. Regina Miracle, a leading garment maker and a key value chain partner of The LYCRA Company, will exhibit garment samples.
The booth will also feature garment samples of new LYCRA FitSense® denim technology, a targeted shaping innovation for stretch denim to deliver a customizable fit to different body types and shapes, a breakthrough for the industry launched this year. Through a combination of fiber, fabric, and garment processing technologies, this discreet and invisible solution retains the authentic denim look and feel that consumers desire.

Brightfin Unifies Brand Following Proven Optics Merger, Delivering a New Standard for Technology Cost Optimization2.4.2026 15:00:00 CEST | Press release
New identity reflects expanded vision to help CIOs “See Clearly. Spend Better.” Brightfin today announced that, following its merger with Proven Optics, the combined company will operate under a single brand: Brightfin. The unified company brings together deep expertise in Technology Expense Management (TEM) and IT Financial Management (ITFM) to help organizations better understand, manage, and reduce total technology spend. Technology spending will exceed $6 Trillion this year, and for most organizations, it remains one of the least understood. CIOs can tell you what they’re spending. Far fewer can tell you whether it’s working. “Over the past several months, we’ve brought these two businesses together around a shared purpose: help enterprise businesses better understand and optimize their technology spend,” said Joel Martins, CEO of Brightfin. “What we are seeing now is a shift. Visibility alone isn’t enough. Teams need to be able to act, tied to real financial outcomes. See Clearly.
