Trevira is investing in equipment for processes like polycondensation, spinning, and textile processing. These will enable Trevira to produce filament specialties for the textile industry.

Trevira, owned by Indorama Venture, is an innovative European manufacturer of high-value branded fibers and filament yarns for technical applications and hygiene products as well as for home textiles, automotive interiors and functional apparel. Its two production sites and a marketing and sales office with about 1100 employees are located in Germany, supported by an international marketing and sales organization. The filament yarns are made in its German spinning mills from pre-consumer and post-consumer recycled polymers derived from PET bottles supplied by its parent company.

The company joins several fiber manufacturers that have created a range of branded recycled polyester fibers and is looking to capitalize on the overall heightened demand for more sustainable synthetic materials.

As an industrial enterprise, Trevira has long advocated for the recycling of valuable raw materials and waste products. The company spins regranulate made by Indorama from bottle flakes into filament yarns consisting of 100 per cent recycled material and recycled chips. Fibers and filaments from Indorama bear the GRS and RCS-NL certification marks. Alongside technical applications, they are used in the automotive and apparel sectors, with other applications in development.
