About

Headquartered in Austria and with a history dating back almost 80 years, Lenzing Group is a world leader in supplying the global textile and nonwovens industry with high-quality, botanic cellulose fibres. In the capacity of general counsel, head of group strategy and group compliance officer, Florian Wirth has been involved in a number of recent cross-border projects aimed at expanding Lenzing’s global presence. In 2017 alone, the company has opened a new state-of-the-art fibre and fabric testing centre for the development of new applications, invested into Thailand by starting construction on a state-of-the-art lyocell fibre production plant and invested over €100m in new production capabilities in Austria. As a trusted legal business adviser, Wirth has had involvement on all of these activities and his efforts over the course of his tenure at Lenzing has contributed to the Group recording the best quarterly and half-year financial results in its history earlier this year.
