From its Upper Austrian headquarters, Lenzing Aktiengesellschaft turns renewable wood into cellulose-based fibers for textiles, nonwovens and technical applications. The Lenzing site is the only production facility worldwide making all three generations of cellulose fibers—lyocell, modal and viscose—and also serves as the Lenzing Group’s central research and development center. Its biorefinery concept uses every component of the wood, producing pulp, fibers, co-products and bioenergy rather than leaving valuable material to waste.
