Lenzing and Palmers join forces to tackle shortage of high-quality face masks

Austrian cellulose fibre producer Lenzing Group reacted quickly to the need of the hour and founded a new company, Hygiene Austria LP GmbH, together with Vienna-based Palmers Textil AG two weeks ago, which, in times of Covid-19, will concentrate entirely on the production of mouth-nose protective masks for the Austrian and European market. Now the product range has been extended by FFP2 masks that are recommended for medical staff.
