Hyosung, manufacturer of the CREORA® Spandex and regen™ brands, has announced the appointment of Scott Blackadar as its new personal health care global leader.
Blackadar will direct the company’s global sales team in the promotion of Hyosung’s specialty fibers in the personal health care marketplace, working closely on joint promotional projects with key industry partners and mills. He will be based in Philadelphia, Pa., and work from Hyosung’s Charlotte, N.C. office.
Blackadar brings years of industry expertise to his new role at Hyosung. He spent the last ten years as the global personal care leader at The LYCRA Company and INVISTA. Before that, he held several leadership positions in specialty fibers at INVISTA. Blackadar holds academic degrees, including an MBA from Northwestern University’s Kellogg School and a Bachelor of Science in accounting from the University of Florida.
“I am excited to join Hyosung, the global leader in the spandex industry,” says Blackadar. “By leveraging Hyosung’s global production, commercial, innovation, and technical capabilities, we can deliver the best spandex product and service offering for the personal hygiene industry. This world-class offering will create tremendous value for our customers and enable us to achieve significant growth together.”
Hyosung has expanded its diaper spandex production beyond its existing facilities in Gumi, South Korea, and China to include its plants in India and Turkey. This strategic move responds to growing global demand for stable, locally sourced supply chains. As part of this expansion, the company plans to increase its diaper spandex production capacity at its India and Turkey facilities to 11,000 tons by 2026.
