Kelheim to increase viscose fibre prices from 1. April 2024

With the strong rebound in cotton fibre prices, there has been a sharp increase in the demand for viscose, especially in Asia. In the face of the rapid rise in interest rates, wages, chemicals, and environmental costs, accompanied by depressed fibre prices over the past years, Kelheim Fibres has no other choice than to start improving margins back to sustainable levels by raising the base price.

Kelheim Fibres GmbH is a world-leading manufacturer of viscose speciality fibres. The production takes place exclusively in Germany and complies with the strict German environmental legislation. Kelheim Fibres is the first viscose manufacturer worldwide with an EMAS-validated environmental management system.
