Lenzing - expansion into carbon fiber production

05 Mar '07
3 min read

The racing yachts of the America's Cup are now fully carbon manufactured and carbon fibers are also gaining more and more ground in the production of standard yachts for materials under high stress, such as masts. The automotive industry, too, increasingly opts for this innovative construction material.

Previously only used in premium and super sports cars, carbon fibers are already today spreading into the construction of special parts for cars of the upper middle segment.

"Already today, the global production capacity in operation is unable to meet current demand. Especially the high-quality carbon fiber sector lacks capacity, which we will create in the next years."

"The partner we have won, SGL Carbon, is moreover the global leader in carbon fiber production, whose expertise in the market, as well as in production and sales makes it the ideal complement to the fiber expertise of Lenzing and Kelheim Fibres" says Thomas Fahnemann. Kelheim Fibres produces highstrength acrylic fiber specialties marketed under the brand names Dolan and Dolanit.
