Trevira GmbH is now called Indorama Ventures Fibers Germany GmbH - Trevira® product brands to be retained

Trevira GmbH has been renamed Indorama Ventures Fibers Germany GmbH. For some time already, Trevira has been an affiliate of Indorama Ventures, Thailand, which acquired the German company in 2011, initially together with a joint venture partner, and then completely in 2017.

After numerous other international company acquisitions, Indorama Ventures now has 147 locations in 35 countries and employs more than 26,000 people in three business segments.

To strengthen the corporate brand "Indorama Ventures" and provide a consistent brand experience for all stakeholders, Indorama Ventures is now consolidating the names of all its associated companies under the corporate umbrella brand.

E-mail addresses and websites will be successively adapted. All established contact persons will continue to be available.

The Trevira product brands, e.g., Trevira CS, will continue to be valid. Customers can therefore now submit their products to Indorama Ventures Fibers Germany GmbH for trademark testing and receive Trevira trademark approvals.

Lenzing advances its transformation: Higher EBITDA, stronger free cash flow and more than EUR 200 million in cost savings

The business performance of the Lenzing Group in 2025 was affected particularly in the second half of the year by external factors such as international tariff measures, subdued demand and declining market prices. As a result, revenue decreased slightly by 2.3 percent to EUR 2.6 billion, primarily due to lower fiber sales volumes and lower prices for fibers and pulp, which were further negatively impacted by currency developments.
