The Lenzing Group, a leading producer of regenerated cellulose fibers, has strengthened its nonwovens business through a series of major international industry fairs in the first half of 2026. At CIDPEX in China, Techtextil in Frankfurt, and INDEX in Geneva, the company demonstrated how its fiber portfolio and LENZING™ Nonwoven Technology (LNT) enable scalable, bio-based alternatives to fossil-based nonwoven materials.
At CIDPEX 2026 in Nanjing, China—the world’s largest exhibition for tissue and disposable hygiene products—Lenzing reinforced its regional presence and increased global visibility for VEOCEL™ branded fibers, particularly for absorbent hygiene and wipes applications. This was followed by Techtextil 2026 in Frankfurt and INDEX 2026 in Geneva, where LENZING™ Nonwoven Technology was presented through interactive touch and feel stations that attracted strong industry interest. These demonstrations allowed visitors to experience the performance and versatility of Lenzing’s cellulosic nonwoven solutions.
A central highlight was the recognition of LENZING™ DualWipe with the prestigious INDEX™ Award in the Nonwovens Roll Goods category. This innovative wipe, enabled by LENZING™ Nonwoven Technology, integrates two functional surfaces: an abrasive side for effective removal of dirt and residues, and a soft, highly absorbent side for wiping and finishing. DualWipe contains no synthetic fibers, binders, or finishing chemicals, eliminating the risk of microplastic shedding typically associated with conventional synthetic wipes.
Patricia Sargeant, Executive Vice President Commercial Nonwovens at Lenzing Group, said: “We would like to thank EDANA and the independent INDEX Award jury for recognizing LENZING™ DualWipe with the INDEX™ 26 Award. This underlines the relevance of cellulose based, fossil free technologies for the future of the nonwovens industry. With LENZING™ Nonwoven Technology, we provide a scalable, high-performance alternative to fossil-based materials by combining renewable raw materials and advanced fiber and web technologies.”
Lenzing’s nonwovens solutions align with the EU Bioeconomy Strategy, which emphasizes the use of bio-based materials to reduce dependence on fossil resources. By translating these strategic ambitions into industrial-scale solutions, Lenzing supports customers in meeting regulatory, brand, and consumer expectations for more sustainable products in hygiene, wipes, and technical nonwovens.
Across all fairs, Lenzing demonstrated how its fibers and technologies add value to diverse end applications, with a particular focus on absorbent hygiene products and advanced nonwoven solutions. By combining fiber innovation, application expertise, and close collaboration along the value chain, Lenzing positions itself as an innovation and solution provider to the global nonwovens industry.
