Lenzing plans to be consumer facing

13/02/2018
Austrian fibre group Lenzing has said it will focus on making Tencel a brand recognised by consumers and not just brand partners as part of a relaunch at Première Vision Paris.

"We are charting a new course to simplify our product portfolio and elevate our brand to bring more value to consumers and industry partners," said Harold Weghorst, director of brand management. 

“In the long run, we plan to build Tencel not only into a trusted B2B brand, but also a preferred consumer brand, which provides B2B customers with ease to maximise marketing effectiveness and enables consumers to identify 'feel-good' products made with sustainable materials."

Tencel Active, Tencel Denim, Tencel Home, Tencel Intimate and Tencel Luxe have been created under the portfolio. New swing tags and marketing materials will be launched to provide clarity on product benefits.

Tencel Modal and Lyocell are made from wood sources are compostable and biodegradable under industrial, home, soil and marine conditions.
