“Naturally it was a very important goal and we are delighted to have succeeded in attracting the production of high-quality protective masks to Lower Austria. On behalf of the Federal State of Lower Austria, we tried very hard in the project implementation phase to ensure that production could already be ramped up at record speed starting in May. Particularly in a time of crisis, the expansion of Hygiene Austria’s product range creates another roughly 100 jobs in Lower Austria and also represents an important contribution to health care services”, Johanna Mikl-Leitner, governor of the Federal State of Lower Austria, said.

I therefore would like to thank the cooperation partners Lenzing AG and Palmers Textil AG for selecting the site in Lower Austria for their face mask production. In this way, Austria could rapidly free itself from its dependence on the global market and set up its own production operations,” Jochen Danninger, Lower Austrian state minister of economic affairs, said.
