Lenzing lifts profit amid renewed nonwovens focus

LENZING – Veocel brand owner Lenzing has reported a stronger first half for 2026 and said it will accelerate its shift towards nonwovens and higher-margin fibre segments as it seeks a more resilient business model.

The Austria-based group more than doubled net profit after tax to €35.6 million on revenue of €1.27 billion, while outlining a strategic reset centred on nonwovens growth and textile rationalisation.
