HS Hyosung USA surpasses 100 million square meters in automotive carpet sales

HS Hyosung Advanced Materials’ interior PU business has once again demonstrated its standing in the global market: HS Hyosung USA, its U.S. production hub in Decatur, Alabama, has surpassed 100 million square meters in cumulative automotive carpet sales.

HS Hyosung USA held an employee celebration after cumulative automotive carpet sales topped 100 million square meters in June. That volume is about 34 times the area of Seoul’s Yeouido Island (2.9 square kilometers within the embankments of Yunjung-ro). At 5 square meters of carpet per vehicle, it is equivalent to 20 million cars. The milestone reflects the company’s long-standing recognition for its technical capabilities in the global automotive market, known for its stringent quality standards.

HS Hyosung USA’s sales growth stems from its focus on marketing recycled PET carpet amid the expansion of the U.S. electric vehicle market and automakers’ growing adoption of eco-friendly interior materials. It has also built a foundation for growth by steadily increasing supplies of next-generation, customized products to major U.S. automakers, including Hyundai Motor America, General Motors (GM), and Tesla.

HS Hyosung Advanced Materials’ interior PU business has recently strengthened its product lineup to target the rapidly growing sustainable mobility materials market. Its offerings include △bio-based PET carpet containing 30% bio-based material, made with sugarcane-derived feedstock to reduce the use of petrochemical resources; △recycled PET carpet made from discarded plastic bottles; and △recycled nylon carpet made from discarded fishing nets. The company is expanding supplies of these diverse materials for eco-friendly EV models worldwide.
