Fibre manufacturer Lenzing has been named the winner of the ‘Jobs through Innovation’ award in a competition that honours Austrian companies that sustainably create jobs on the basis of their research and development work.

One of the main criteria is high-quality working conditions that enable innovative research results.

Upper Austrian Chamber of Labour president Johann Kalliauer, who presented the award, said: “Lenzing is a perfect example of how employee-friendly working conditions provide an optimal breeding ground for business innovation, efficient production and corporate success.”

Lenzing CEO Peter Untersperger expressed his pride in receiving the prize. “The award is simultaneously a confirmation and incentive for our corporate strategy,” he commented. “We will continue to focus on innovation.”
