Lenzing boosts capacity in Indonesia
06/11/2012
With a possible additional output of 80,000 tons of per year, the total capacity at West Java-based South Pacific Viscose will increase to 320,000 tons. This will exceed that of its parent plant in Lenzing, Austria, which produces 250,000 tons per year.
“Asia is the most important market for the Lenzing Group,” said Peter Untersperger, Lenzing’s chief executive. “It’s where we generate more than half of our fibre revenues. Therefore it is only logical that our largest plant is located in Indonesia. More than half of our fibre production capacity is now located in Asia.”
Lenzing reported sales of €2.14 billion last year and produced 705,100 tons of fibre.
