Successful implementation of mega investment program

As the lyocell plant in Thailand is now fully operational, Lenzing has the capacity to increase its share of specialty fibers substantially and is even better equipped to meet structurally rising demand for environmentally friendly TENCEL? and VEOCEL? branded lyocell fibers. With a nominal capacity of 100,000 tonnes per year, the new production plant is the largest of its kind worldwide. The requisite dissolving wood pulp will also be provided by the new plant in Brazil in future. Despite multiple challenges, especially relating to the pandemic, Lenzing realized both projects on time and within the planned budget, and has successfully placed the volumes produced to date on the market.

In China and Indonesia, Lenzing is currently converting existing capacities for conventional viscose into those for environmentally friendly specialty fibers. In Nanjing, Lenzing is about to complete the conversion of a production line to TENCEL? modal fibers. In Purwakarta, the company is creating additional capacities for LENZING? ECOVERO? branded fibers. The Indonesian site is set to become a pure specialty viscose provider in 2023.
