Insights

  • Kelheim Fibres has partnered with MagnoLab, aiming to drive innovation and sustainability in the textile sector.
  • Employing an Open Innovation approach, Kelheim Fibres seeks to be an innovation partner rather than just a supplier.
  • Its partnership with MagnoLab facilitates efficient R&D through the use of state-of-the-art textile machinery for testing.
The viscose specialty fibre manufacturer Kelheim Fibres has entered into a collaboration with MagnoLab, an international network of companies in the textile industry based in the Biella region, Italy. This partnership highlights the importance of collaboration between different companies to drive innovation and sustainability in the textile industry.

Kelheim Fibres, a pioneer in the development of sustainable viscose fibres, sees itself not only as a fibre supplier but also as an innovation partner for the entire industry. Through its Open Innovation approach, Kelheim Fibres fosters the exchange of ideas and knowledge to jointly develop sustainable solutions for the future. Kelheim Fibres operates several pilot and technical facilities itself. The close collaboration with MagnoLab, which boasts an impressive array of state-of-the-art textile machinery, allows for even more efficient research and development, Kelheim Fibres and MagnoLab said in a joint press release.

“Through close networking with the companies organised under MagnoLab, we can produce small quantities of samples and prototypes using various technologies. This enables us to develop solutions based on our specialty fibres that can be directly transferred to our partners’ production facilities within the textile value chain,” said Dr. Marina Crnoja-Cosic, director new business development, marketing and communications at Kelheim Fibres.

“Kelheim Fibres is the first fibre manufacturer we are collaborating with. Together, we now cover the complete textile chain, making our work even more valuable,” said Giovanni Marchi, president of MagnoLab.

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.
