The company’s engagement with India-centric applications, such as sarees, kurtis, and other traditional wear, generated significant interest among visitors. Lenzing’s TENCEL™ LUXE Filament yarn, TENCEL™ Lyocell and Modal fibers, along with LENZING™ ECOVERO™ Viscose fibers, have equally played a pivotal role in driving these segments. The existing and successful brand presence in these categories served as a testament to consumer preference for Lenzing fiber products in Indian markets.
