The Lenzing Group – A Brief Portrait

The Lenzing Group, an international corporate group with headquarters in Upper Austria, is present on world markets. With quality and innovation, the company sets standards in the field of man-made cellulose fibers. Lenzing fibers, made of wood, a renewable raw material, are used by the textile industry – for garments, home textiles and technical textiles – as well as by the nonwovens industry.

With its more than 65 years of experience in the production of fibers, the Lenzing Group is the only manufacturer that unites all three generations of man-made cellulose fibers – from viscose to modal and lyocell fibers.

The success of the Lenzing Group is based on a consistent focus on its customers, combined with its leadership in technology and quality. Its economic strength is secured both by focusing on special fibers and by its good position with respect to costs.

In addition to its core business fibers the Lenzing Group also operates in the business sectors paper, engineering and systems construction, and plastics.
