Lenzing invests in new capacities for Tencel Luxe

摘要

The Lenzing Group has announced that it is investing up to €30m in a further pilot line for its Tencel Luxe filament yarn due to strong demand. Basic engineering for construction of the new facility, at the Lenzing site, has already been initiated. "Thanks to Tencel Luxe, Lenzing is currently positioning itself in the premium luxury market and is embedding the issue of sustainability there in combination with superior aesthetics," said Robert van de Kerkhof, chief commercial officer of the Lenzing Group. "The fine filament yarn is comparable to natural silk due to its airy feeling on the skin and matte finish. It is perfectly suited for very fine fabrics made exclusively from this yarn and as a blending partner with silk, cashmere and wool," he added.
