Kelheim Fibres, a leading manufacturer of viscose speciality fibres has announced a strategic collaboration with MagnoLab, an international network of the textile industry. The aim of this new partnership is to underscore the critical role of inter-company cooperation in advancing innovation and sustainability within the textile sector.
The collaboration is anticipated to expedite research and development efforts, promising to yield more efficient and impactful innovations, and reinforcing the industry’s commitment to a greener future.
Marina Crnoja-Cosic, Director of New Business Development, Marketing and Communications at Kelheim Fibres, stated, “Through close networking with the companies organized under MagnoLab, we can produce small quantities of samples and prototypes using various technologies. This enables us to develop solutions based on our speciality fibres that can be directly transferred to our partners’ production facilities within the textile value chain.”
Giovanni Marchi, President of MagnoLab, also expresses his enthusiasm, “The cooperation allows for practical testing, accelerating the implementation of innovations. It also contributes to a closer networking of the European (and thus regional) value chain. Thanks to shorter transport routes within Europe, not only is the environmental impact reduced, but also the realisation of innovations in Europe is facilitated.”
