Heiko Arnold has become the new Chief Technology Officer of the Lenzing Group, on 1 May. The Management Board of the leading producer of botanic cellulose fibres led by CEO Stefan Doboczky was expanded by a new position for Technology and increased from three to four members in view of the forthcoming expansion of production capacity.
The cellulose fibre market is forecast to grow at a CAGR of nine per cent over the period 2016-24. Abundance of raw materials, environmental benefits of cellulose fibres, and cost effectiveness will boost global cellulose fibre market demand in clothing and apparels over other alternatives such as polyester and nylon.
The Lenzing Group has been rated No. 1 globally with respect to the procurement of wood, the key raw material in cellulose fibre production, by the Canadian non-profit environmental organisation Canopy Planet Society.
