Lenzing fibers have been an integral part of the global textile industry for over eight decades now. The company has four fiber brands — TENCEL™, LENZING™ ECOVERO™, VEOCEL™, and LENZING™.

The brand has set a benchmark for fashion and textile innovation with its high standards of sustainability, quality, performance, cutting-edge solutions, and iconic products — from TENCEL™ modal fibers in the 1960s to TENCEL™ lyocell (1990) and the recently unveiled in 2017 LENZING ECOVERO™.

The Lenzing Group has grown to be the only company in the world that produces significant volumes of all three wood-based cellulose fiber generations. These fibers are produced from cellulose — the core component of trees.
