LENZING branded fibers
At the event, Lenzing’s exhibition focused on protective wear and work wear
From agriculture, packaging, and engineered products, to protective wear and work wear, the LENZING branded fibers serve a wide range of various industrial applications. At the event, Lenzing’s exhibition focused on protective wear and work wear, showcasing the product developments for polo shirts.
With LENZING branded fibers, it is possible to generate bright and long-lasting colors for clothing and even produce work wear clothes with many intensive colors, ranging from bright red to lush green and deep blue.
Driving sustainability
More importantly, the fibers from LENZING help brands to drive sustainability at root, as the fibers are derived from the renewable raw material wood and made in environmentally sound production processes.
Techtextil 2019 offered a great platform for the industry players to showcase technical textiles for architecture, the automotive industry, construction, clothing, and many others. It was also a valuable platform for Lenzing to network with a wide range of companies, all with similar values and ethics, and raise awareness on LENZING fibers.
