Company Information

Lenzing (euro adhoc) - PT. South Pacific Viscose (SPV) is now the
world's largest viscose fiber plant

In late October, trial operations of the fifth production line
started successfully at Lenzing's Indonesian subsidiary PT. South
Pacific Viscose. With an additional nominal capacity of 80,000 tons
of viscose fibers p.a., the annual total capacity of SPV will
increase to 320,000 tons once Line 5 has been launched. SPV will thus
exceed the capacity of the parent plant in Lenzing/Upper Austria
(250,000 tons p.a.) for the first time and become the world's largest
viscose fiber plant.

"Asia is the most important market for the Lenzing Group. It's where
we generate more than half of our fiber revenues. Therefore it is
only logical that our largest plant is located in Indonesia", Peter
Untersperger, Chief Executive Officer of Lenzing, explains the
general thrust of the expansion. "More than half of our fiber
production capacity is now located in Asia."

Indonesia has a significant textile industry, which represents one of
the largest industrial sectors of the Southeast Asian island state.
SPV has been an important supplier and reliable partner of the local
industry for nearly 30 years. Moreover, customers are supplied with
high-quality fibers for textile and nonwovens use from the Purwakarta
plant not only in the Asian region, but in nearly all continents as
part of the global market presence of the Lenzing Group.
