The use of face masks has become mandatory in many areas of life. Demand is constantly high. For this purpose, fiber manufacturer Lenzing and laundry manufacturer Palmers founded the Hygiene Austria LP joint venture, in which Lenzing has the majority with 50.1 percent. Starting in May, twelve million protective masks will be produced each month.
The two companies announced yesterday, Friday, that they had invested “several million euros” and had insured the raw materials for production. First, protective mouth-nose masks (MNS) must be made for the general public and so-called FFP2 masks. The target is Austria and the European market.
With the mechanical engineering group Engel from Schwertberg and the tool manufacturer Haidlmair from Nussbach, two other national companies are involved in mask production: Haidlmair has developed a new tool concept for the production of reusable masks. Engel offers injection molding machines that are specifically designed for this and can be delivered quickly. To support companies that want to change their production in the short term, he said Friday in a broadcast. The masks could be produced by companies from a wide variety of industries.
In 2012 Thomas Pfleger founded his fabric factory “Luxury Fabric” in Oepping (Rohrbach district), the first new fabric factory founded in Austria in 50 years. 13 employees are employed.
