Tariff uncertainty slows Lenzing recovery

Cellulosic fibre specialist Lenzing says its recovery was blunted in its second quarter, with uncertainty around tariffs slowing down the momentum it had built up in the first part of the current fiscal year

Reporting revenues of €1.34 billion for the first half, up from €1.31 billion in the same period in 2024, Lenzing said that international tariff measures and the resulting uncertainty had led to “tangible stress” along the textile value chain, with market prices remaining at a low level while costs for raw materials, energy and logistics continued to be high.
