Indonesia - Lenzing Group is set to ramp up capacity at its Indonesian subsidiary, South Pacific Viscose, following the completion of successful trials of a fourth production line.

The new line took 18 months to complete and represents a US$150 million investment for the Austrian-based fibre manufacturer.

Some will also be for the nonwovens industry.
