capabilities for nonwovens in Mobile, USA
• In line with its “Grow NW. Reset TX.” strategy, Lenzing invests EUR 27
mn (USD 31 mn) at its lyocell fiber production site in Mobile, USA

Lenzing, November 12, 2026 – The Lenzing Group is investing EUR 27 mn (USD
31 mn) to expand specialty fiber capabilities at its production site in
Mobile, Alabama, USA to reinforce it’s long-term commitment to the
nonwovens business. In line with the “Grow NW. Reset TX.” strategy, the
investment will strengthen the site’s role in Lenzing’s global Nonwovens
business and support the development of customized, wood-based fiber
solutions for specialty nonwovens applications.
“Nonwovens are a strategic growth area for Lenzing, and our investment in
Mobile reflects our strong commitment to expanding our capabilities in
this business and strengthening Lenzing’s presence in the Americas and
globally,” says Georg Kasperkovitz, CEO of the Lenzing Group. “The
investment will expand Mobile’s capabilities in specialty fibers,
including lyocell short-cut fibers, and future innovations. This will
enable Lenzing to offer a broader range of specialty fibers for
nonwovens.”
“With enhanced capabilities in Mobile, we will be better positioned to
support our customers in developing innovative solutions and create value
for our customers,” says Patricia A. Sargeant, EVP Global Nonwovens at
Lenzing. “This investment creates new opportunities for closer
collaboration and bringing differentiated solutions to the market while
promoting the replacement of fossil-based fibers with wood-based fibers in
nonwoven products.”
The Mobile investment is part of Lenzing’s EUR 50 mn investment program
for its Nonwovens business, which also includes EUR 23 mn previously
announced for expanding production capabilities at the Lenzing site,
Austria. Together, these investments demonstrate Lenzing’s long-term
commitment to advancing innovation and supporting growth in specialty
fiber markets for nonwovens.
