More and more people are getting into the habit of training more often and this is fueling the fast growth of sportswear brands such as Andar in Korea. This new alliance combines Polygiene’s expertise in odor control technology with Andar’s cutting edge designs and high performance fabrics in line with this athleisure trend in South Korea. Polygiene Permanent Odor Control Technology, with its Stay Fresh functionality, will debut in women’s activewear in partnership with Andar in the Fall of 2017.
“My goal at Andar is to provide the highest quality of women’s activewear to our customers. In the partnership with Polygiene, I feel my mission is being achieved by choosing Polygine as a Permanent Odor Free and Stay Fresh solution. Our customers will enjoy odor free, stay fresh, wear more and wash less. We are opening a new chapter in the women’s active wear field in Korea.” A. R. Shin, CEO, Andar Co. Ltd.
“I’m impressed with the exceptional development of Andar and how quickly this premium brand has become a top-brand among yoga-practitioners in Korea,” says Christian von Uthmann, CEO, Polygiene. “We look forward to our continued cooperation with Andar to introduce women’s activewear that will stay fresh.”
Andar is a leading women’s activewear brand in Korea. Founded in June 2015, it achieved 18 million USD turnover with women’s activewear only for the first half of 2017 and expects 30 million USD total turnover this year.
