Temafa to supply hemp straw decortication plant to Hanffaser Geiseltal eG

The new facility will support industrial-scale hemp fibre production in Germany.

Temafa Maschinenfabrik GmbH, a leading supplier of machinery and plants for fibre processing, has successfully secured an order to supply a complete plant for processing hemp straw to Hanffaser Geiseltal eG, based in Mücheln.

With this project, Hanffaser Geiseltal eG is implementing its first industrial plant for processing hemp straw into hemp fibres. The plant will be delivered, installed and commissioned in the course of the year.

The plant, designed and manufactured by Temafa, is specifically engineered for the efficient processing of hemp straw. The aim is to produce high-quality fibre products, which are primarily used in the building materials industry, for example in sustainable insulation materials and other ecological applications.

“We are delighted to be supporting Hanffaser Geiseltal eG as it enters the field of industrial hemp fibre processing,” says [Dr Jörg Morgner], [Managing Director] at Temafa Maschinenfabrik GmbH. “This project underscores the growing importance of natural fibres as sustainable raw materials and our expertise in developing bespoke plant solutions.”

With this investment, Hanffaser Geiseltal eG is strengthening its position in the field of sustainable raw materials and sending a clear signal regarding the increasing industrialisation of hemp processing in Germany.
