Kelheim Fibres, the world’s leading manufacturer of viscose speciality fibres, is looking forward to exchanging ideas and inspirations at its stand at the Global Fibre Congress 2022 slated to be held from September 14-16 in Dornbirn, Austria.

At this year’s Global Fiber Congress, innovation manager Ilka Kaczmarek will give an insight into the innovation management of the Bavarian fibre experts in her presentation 'Trend Management meets Open Innovation: Best Practice Examples from Kelheim'. Kaczmarek will show how successful product solutions were developed in a short time by focusing on customer needs and working closely with partners along the value chain, the company said in a press release.

Natalie Wunder, project manager at Kelheim Fibres, will explain one of these examples in detail in her presentation 'Development of Menstruation Pants using Speciality Viscose Fibres'.

Based on the current trend and the desire of end customers for reusable products, Kelheim Fibres was able to develop a washable and thus reusable, yet bio-based solution for feminine hygiene products.
