- Hannover Messe as an important international platform for technological solutions for industrial transformation
- Lenzing presents pioneering projects for more sustainable textile and nonwovens industries at the invitation of the EU Commission
Lenzing – The Lenzing Group, a leading supplier of regenerated cellulose fibers for the textile and nonwovens industries, will be presenting its sustainable innovations at Hannover Messe 2025, the world’s leading trade fair for the industry, from March 31 to April 4. As a co-exhibitor at the EU Commission’s stand, the leading integrated fiber group is representing a European flagship company in the clean industry.
Christian Skilich, Member of the Managing Board of Lenzing AG, comments: “Participation in the Hannover Messe provides us with an excellent platform to present our pioneering projects. In order to preserve our livelihoods and those of future generations, the global textile and nonwovens industry must successfully transition to sustainable production. As a leading integrated fiber group, Lenzing is the driving innovative force in the industry. The invitation to exhibit together with the EU Commission is a great honor for us and underlines our role as a pioneer for a clean industry.”
Lenzing is currently the only producer of regenerated cellulosic fibers with a verified, science-based net-zero target. Lenzing is also proactively developing and promoting innovation to provide economically viable and scalable solutions to the global textile waste problem and accelerate the transition to a circular economy model.
A current example of Lenzing’s pioneering work in this field is the CELLFIL project, which was launched in 2024 and is co-funded by the EU with EUR 6.9 mn. As part of this project, Lenzing is working with the non-profit organization RTDS Group and 13 other partners from research and industry to promote the scaling of lyocell filaments.
Since 2021, Lenzing has been working with Swedish pulp producer Södra to jointly develop new processes for recycling used textiles on an industrial scale. The project was supported in 2023 as part of the LIFE 2022 program with a grant of EUR 10 mn from the EU.
Another example of Lenzing’s innovative strength is the project “Glacial Threads: From Forests to Future Textiles”, which combines glacier protection and textile recycling and will be presented at HANNOVER MESSE 2025.
Visit Lenzing AG at the Hannover Messe 2025, from March 31 to April 4, in hall 13, at stand E66. Dominic Köfner, Vice President Corporate Communications, Public Affairs, Investor Relations & Sustainability Reporting, will also represent Lenzing AG in the panel discussion “Transforming Tomorrow: Game-Changing Innovations in Industry” on Tuesday, April 1, 1:45 to 2:45 pm (CET).
With more than 4,000 exhibitors and 130,000 visitors, Hannover Messe is the most important international platform for all technologies related to industrial transformation.
