Daehan Synthetic Fiber, a textile and petrochemical subsidiary of Taegwang Group, said Tuesday that its flagship ultrafine fiber brand 'ACEFINE' has officially entered the global automotive interior market as of September.
ACEFINE is the only ultrafine fiber brand produced entirely domestically across all production processes. Building on its differentiated yarn development capabilities and experience in expanding applications accumulated in the apparel materials market, ACEFINE is rapidly expanding into high-value-added industries such as the automotive interior market. Daehan has also established a medium-to-long-term roadmap to significantly increase the share of industrial applications from the current 25% level to 55% by 2030, leveraging ACEFINE's success.
Since 2024, Daehan has been conducting intensive development and investment aimed at domestic production of automotive interior materials, achieving tangible results. ACEFINE has been successfully applied to the headliners (ceiling materials) of various models including Hyundai Motor and Kia's flagship vehicles, diverse sports utility vehicles (SUVs), HYBE-led models, and electric vehicle models.
In particular, during the first half of this year, the company supplied customized interior colors for large SUVs of Korean brands produced and sold in the United States, earning recognition for its quality in the global market. Currently, ACEFINE is expanding its application scope beyond headliners to car seats, continuing close testing and verification with domestic and international original equipment manufacturers (OEMs).
Recently, the automotive interior market has seen a growing trend of consumers prioritizing eco-friendly trends and premium emotional quality. The company is leading this market shift through ACEFINE, which simultaneously delivers luxurious suede touch and strong durability.
The company plans to continuously develop product lines incorporating recycled raw materials and bio-based materials, participating in the global eco-mobility trend.
A company official said, "ACEFINE is not just an interior material but a core mobility material that provides premium emotion to passengers." He added, "Moving forward, we will concentrate our research and development (R&D) capabilities on applications based on artificial intelligence (AI) to become the top materials partner meeting the diversified demands of the global market."
