Especially the new generation of high-performance moisture absorbing and sweat wicking fiber TopCool ® Petal It is developed based on the precise force exerted by the human body during exercise, while meeting the requirements of high strength and lightweight elasticity. Special technology is used to enhance fast drying and efficient moisture wicking effects, while also providing a delicate luster and smooth touch. In addition to being highly favored in the 2026 FIFA World Cup football world, related technologies have also been extended to the championship gowns of the world's top tennis players, such as the 2026 French Open Champion Men's Tennis Short Sleeve Top, which not only quickly absorbs moisture and sweat, but also creates greater freedom of movement with its special weaving design. The double-layer knitted fabric structure also combines comfort and durability.

        In order to vividly present the sense of presence and diverse types of sports, the main stage area of Far Eastern Group's new exhibition stands tall with a pillar, with large screens on all four sides above and 17 people's platforms below, displaying the jerseys of 8 national teams including 2026 FIFA World Cup champions Spain, runners up Argentina, Japan, Italy, as well as the jerseys of 4 well-known basketball teams including the NBA Lakers, Warriors, and Spurs in the United States. These jerseys, made of functional textile materials by Far Eastern New Century Corporation, assist players in performing their best in high-intensity competitive sports and serve as the strongest support.

        FENC MatchPro Group co creates jerseys to showcase vertical integration strength

                The FENC MatchPro jersey is also specially showcased at the exhibition, utilizing Far Eastern Group's exclusive octagonal yarn technology, combined with 3D three-dimensional jacquard organization and breathable hole design, and creating a regional jacquard system based on the human body's heat generating area. Even under high-intensity exercise, it can maintain comfort and dryness, and is made of the same material as the designated jersey for the 2026 World Cup, fully demonstrating Far Eastern New Century Corporation's "BUILT FOR MOVEMENT" sports function heritage.

        It is worth mentioning that this jersey is designed and developed upstream to midstream by Far Eastern Group's new COLAB design integration center, while IDM's innovative research and development center connects midstream to downstream product development, paired with TOPGREEN that meets sustainable materials and process standards ® The product family and the core identification FENC of the enterprise reflect the unique advantages of vertical integration between upstream and downstream of the group, as well as the brand spirit of continuous innovation and sustainability.

        Born for fashion, innovation ability recognized globally

        Behind the main stage, on the opposite side is a fashionable runway, paired with FENC display ® AeroZon and FENC ® LoopFlex These two fabrics will compete for the "Best Inventions" award from Time magazine in October 2026, following their highest honor at the A design double award in 2025. among which, FENC ® AeroZon creates a high-quality appearance with exclusive petal shaped cross-sectional fibers, which can improve moisture and evaporation efficiency, provide breathable and comfortable wearing experience, and use 3D body map weaving technology to accurately configure mesh structure, allowing the fabric to present a dynamic feeling according to the rhythm of the body. FENC ® LoopFlex is a highly elastic fabric made from a single material, using a textile full cycle recycling solution to achieve closed-loop recycling of Textile to Textile T2T. Through patented 3D embossing technology and low-temperature processing system, the fabric is endowed with a permanent three-dimensional microstructure. Both award-winning fabrics are in line with the slogan 'Fabrics Worthy of Global Recognition' on the runway, highlighting Far Eastern New Century Corporation's innovative textile fabric strength and receiving global recognition.

        The exhibition area on the right side of the runway displays yoga, outdoor, and leisure clothing. During exercise, sweat not only affects comfort, but also changes the appearance of clothing. Far Eastern New Century Corporation's low sweat appearance maintenance technology allows clothes to maintain a refreshing and neat appearance even after prolonged high-intensity activities. In addition, the company has partnered with international outdoor lifestyle brands to use natural fibers and innovative stretch yarns to reduce the environmental load caused by microfibers, and to give the fabric natural extensibility and freedom of movement, creating a brushed fabric that combines comfortable touch, insulation performance, and sustainable value. The FEFC showcased this time ® Power X uses environmentally friendly nylon 6,6 material for raw material modification, which not only greatly improves the elasticity recovery performance of the fabric, but also reduces the use of nylon elastic fabric material, improving the feasibility of subsequent fabric recycling.

                Not only that, Far Eastern Group is also actively developing advanced functional fibers and launching a new aramid fiber Telix, which has excellent mechanical properties, puncture resistance, wear resistance, and acid and alkali resistance, providing strong support for high-strength applications such as protective fabrics, safety shoes, and wear-resistant backpacks. Simultaneously partnering with Everest Textile to develop FEFC ® Durable fiber is different from the commonly used high-strength nylon 6,6 fibers in the market. This product combines softness, comfort, strength, and wear resistance, showcasing the vertically integrated resource advantages of the group.

        Cross disciplinary cooperation promotes circular solutions

        The strength and toughness of fibers also affect the quality of automotive materials. Far Eastern New Century Corporation is deeply involved in the international automotive fiber supply chain. In the exhibition area behind the main stage and on the left side of the runway, a full range of products from recycled environmentally friendly materials to high-end industrial fibers are planned, presenting the distribution of different automotive material products, such as high-strength airbag yarn and seat belt yarn using special formulas. In order to balance product functionality and low-carbon concepts, Far Eastern New Century Corporation uses recycled polyester and biobased polyester as sustainable materials to reduce dependence on fossil resources. Through ISCC (International Sustainability and Carbon Certification) audits and life cycle (LCA) assessments, it can help industrial silk reduce carbon emissions by 15% to 32%. For extremely heavy industrial situations, we have specifically designed a "super heavy load conveyor belt base fabric" with excellent tensile and wear resistance, which can ensure the long-term stable operation of the conveyor system. The high-precision fabric texture effect of the mold fabric can meet the needs of special uphill or steep downhill conveyor systems.

                Oriental Union Chemical Corporation, which participates in the grand event every year, is using ethylene glycol and functional protective clothing detergent OUCC this time ® Two products, Fabric Shield, participated in the exhibition. The former is the core basic raw material for making polyester fibers, PET and other products; The latter achieves better cleaning effect by coating fibers with a nano hydrophilic layer, which can also enhance the moisture absorption and sweat wicking ability of clothing, accelerate drying, and bring a soft touch.

        Moving counterclockwise along the exhibition booth, you will arrive at the TOPGREEN RECYCLE zone, where you can see Far Eastern New Century Corporation's mature recycling technology of using waste plastic to regenerate environmentally friendly Wuhan Far Eastern New Material. Among them, r-TPEE, which is modified from polyester chemical recycling to high elasticity Wuhan Far Eastern New Material, has been commercially applied to the midsole of the brand's upstream shoes. In recent years, the company has invested in T2T textile recycling technology and the establishment of a recycling system, achieving the recycling of waste textiles into high-quality polyester fibers and creating a "recycled economy model from textiles back to textiles". On the other hand, following the launch of e2cycle collaboration with BenQ Materials in 2024 to convert electronic waste into recycled polyester (rPET), which is then made into yarn and fabric, the scale will be expanded in 2026 to increase the amount of electronic waste recycling and reuse, and recycled materials will be introduced into BenQ Materials' Xpore ® High performance textile materials, combined with waterproof, breathable, and durable functions, are upgraded to high-value textile applications, jointly realizing the circular vision of "from electronic waste to high-performance textile materials".

        Breaking through industry pain points and challenging materials to the extreme

        Adjacent to the TOPGREEN RECYCLE area is the Innovation R&D Zone. In order to more thoroughly implement the recycled economy, Far Eastern New Century Corporation conducted in-depth research on the recycling chain of waste and observed that many products are difficult to recycle due to the presence of non polyester materials such as waterproof rubber strips, leather, and shoe materials. Therefore, it actively invested in the development of 100% polyester closed-loop solutions to replace previously unrecoverable parts with recycled polyester materials, and promoted single material design to make product recycling easier. The application scope covers synthetic leather, shoe materials, and key components. The P+L Dual Backpack, created by Far Eastern New Century Corporation in collaboration with Taiwanese design team Studio Smoll, is a "new generation of single material easily recyclable and environmentally friendly synthetic leather" made from recycled polyester fabric and PET bottles. It has won the globally iconic 2026 iF Design Award for product design.

        It is worth mentioning that this area also exhibits TOPGREEN, which breaks through traditional frameworks ® AirTek carbon reducing polyurethane materials, starting from raw material selection and process design, can effectively reduce the overall carbon footprint while maintaining mechanical strength and durability. They have successively won the German Innovation Award "Best CO2 Utilization 2025" and the Gold Award from the Source Management Group of the Ministry of Environment's "2025 Resource Recycling Excellent Enterprise".

                Far Eastern New Century Corporation, with its strong material innovation capabilities, has solidified its position as a supplier of jersey materials for international sports events and has influenced the fashion industry. On the basis of mature textile recycling technology, gradually expand its application to non civilian clothing, electronic waste, traditional non polyester elastic fibers and foam materials, etc., creating infinite possibilities for cross industry recycled economy, thereby expanding the scope of low-carbon and sustainable benefits, and fulfilling the company's ESG commitment. Through this exhibition, it is expected to welcome more diverse forms of cooperation, continue to collaborate with global brands, and create a new generation of products that combine high performance and sustainable value, making Taiwan's textile technology the most eye-catching role on the world stage.
