Lenzing - Leading Fiber Innovation

The best beech wood has to offer

Complete integration.

Lenzing Modal® is produced from indigenous beech wood and thus it is 100% natural. Pulp and fiber production both employ the principle of sustainability. Lenzing produces the pulp used for fiber production which gives it control over the entire production process. This is unique within the fiber industry.

Lenzing Modal® - Production and recovery in one

Lenzing produces fibers in a sustainable manner. Processes are optimized and by-products are recovered.

Integrated process management

Quality is unique.

As a result of using beech wood and the integrated management of processes, Lenzing Modal® has a unique quality. The production process cannot be impaired by fluctuations in the raw materials because Lenzing is controlling the process. The beech wood used as the raw material makes Lenzing Modal® distinctive.

Optimal use of By-products

Valuable materials.

In addition to cellulose, Lenzing extracts various other valuable materials from the tree. Acetic acid is extracted for the production of food stuffs, as well as xylose, an important substance in the production of sweeteners. Sodium sulphate, a by-product in fiber production, is used in the production of glass. The remaining share of the wood is used in thermal plants at the Lenzing production facility and contributes towards the generation of energy at the Lenzing facility. The many years of experience Lenzing has with the optimum management of processes makes it a „World champion“ when it comes to circuit and recycling management. Thanks to recovery units, a significant share of the raw materials employed can be used again.
