Kelheim Fibres GmbH

Viscose fibers consist exclusively of renewable cellulose, the most important and most abundant organic polymer. Our viscose fibers are therefore fully biodegradable; they meet the requirements of the FSC® and PEFC® standards and are registered as compostable material. Likewise, our fibers are certified to "OK biodegradable VINCOTTE". Thus, they offer an environmentally friendly alternative to other materials or additives.

Simultaneously – and unlike natural cellulosic fibers – viscose fibers can be produced in controlled and consistently high quality, guaranteeing the necessary technical and hygienic standards.

In addition to high quality, our product range is characterized above all by innovativeness and functionality: With the help of our numerous in-house pilot plants, our R & D team creates fibers that add value to the end product and are precisely tailored to our customers' requirements.
