Trevira CS: Rückblick 2022 anlässlich der Heimtextil

Das zurückliegende Jahr war von Krisen gekennzeichnet: Die anhaltende Corona Pandemie, gestörte Lieferketten sowie die durch den Ukrainekrieg ausgelöste Energiekrise prägten die weltwirtschaftlichen Rahmenbedingungen. Auch das Geschäft mit flammhemmenden Trevira Fasern und Filamentgarnen geriet unter diesen Einflüssen unter Druck, insbesondere aufgrund der rasant ansteigenden Energie- und Rohstoffkosten. Polyesterprodukte sind hier in besonderem Maße betroffen, da sie zum einen in energieintensiven Herstellungsverfahren produziert und zum anderen aus Erdölderivaten hergestellt werden.

Insgesamt war 2022 für den Bereich der schwer entflammbaren Trevira Fasern und Filamentgarne ein anspruchsvolles Jahr. Aufgrund der massiv ansteigenden Energiekosten und der davon getriebenen Inflation war es unvermeidbar, Preisanpassungen vorzunehmen. Die generell vorherrschende große Verunsicherung im Markt führte auch auf dem europäischen Objektmarkt zu einer Kaufzurückhaltung, die im 4. Quartal ihren Höhepunkt erreichte. Insgesamt ist das Unternehmen für 2023 leicht optimistisch gestimmt, erwartet aber eine Erholung des Marktes erst wieder im 2. – 3. Quartal.

Die generell vorherrschende große Verunsicherung im Markt führte auch auf dem europäischen Objektmarkt zu einer Kaufzurückhaltung, die im 4. Quartal ihren Höhepunkt erreichte. Insgesamt ist das Unternehmen für 2023 leicht optimistisch gestimmt, erwartet aber eine Erholung des Marktes erst wieder im 2. – 3. Quartal.

Im Bereich der flammhemmenden Stapelfasern wird 2022 mengenmäßig in etwa auf Vorjahresniveau abgeschlossen. Dabei lag das Unternehmen nach den ersten 9 Monaten noch gut 10 % über der Vorjahresmenge, was aber durch einen deutlichen Nachfragerückgang im vierten Quartal relativiert wurde.

Hervorzuheben ist die starke Nachfrage nach recycelten Fasern (pre-consumer) für den Einsatz in Trevira CS eco Textilien. Aufgrund von Verzögerungen konnten in der Anlaufphase die nachgefragten Mengen nicht vollumfänglich bedient werden. Für 2023 werden deutliche Wachstumspotentiale gesehen. Die Investition in einen neuen Schmelzefilter für eine der Spinnanlagen wird durch die hiermit verbundene Prozessoptimierung dazu beitragen, die steigenden Nachfrage besser erfüllen zu können. Als besonders robust hat sich unser Geschäft in Italien und in der Türkei erwiesen, wo wir die uns gesetzten Ziele für 2022 erreicht haben.

Auch im Bereich der flammhemmenden Filamentgarne wurden die Ziele für 2022 mengenmäßig mit ca. 4 % unter Plan leicht unterschritten. Das Trevira CS Geschäft hat seinen Fokus nach wie vor auf Europa, mit den wichtigsten Märkten Italien, Deutschland und Skandinavien. Eine starke Nachfrage ist im Office-Bereich zu verzeichnen, wo Garne mit hohen Scheuerbeständigkeiten zum Einsatz kommen.   

Für 2023 formuliert Trevira CS bei flammhemmenden Filamentgarnen ein Wachstumsziel von 5 %. Generiert werden soll dieses durch neue Produktentwicklungen und die Verstärkung der Aktivitäten im Schifffahrtsbereich und im türkischen Markt.

Trevira GmbH & Trevira CS: Business 2021 und Outlook 2022

  • Integration der Trevira GmbH in den Mutterkonzern Indorama Ventures PCL wird zügig umgesetzt

Trevira blickt auf ein herausforderndes, aber durchaus erfolgreiches 2021 zurück. Mit einem Gesamtumsatz von ca. 232 Mio. Euro übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen.

Angespornt durch den Start des Impfprogramms mit der daraus resultierenden Hoffnung, dass die Pandemie zeitnah überwunden sein würde, konnten bereits im ersten Quartal 2021 in allen Bereichen deutlich höhere Ergebnisse erzielt werden.

  • Integration der Trevira GmbH in den Mutterkonzern Indorama Ventures PCL wird zügig umgesetzt

Trevira blickt auf ein herausforderndes, aber durchaus erfolgreiches 2021 zurück. Mit einem Gesamtumsatz von ca. 232 Mio. Euro übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen.

Angespornt durch den Start des Impfprogramms mit der daraus resultierenden Hoffnung, dass die Pandemie zeitnah überwunden sein würde, konnten bereits im ersten Quartal 2021 in allen Bereichen deutlich höhere Ergebnisse erzielt werden.

Insbesondere im Bereich Heimtextilien setzten sich die positiven Signale im Markt weiter fort. Nach einem für das Trevira CS ®-Geschäft herausfordernden Jahr 2020, in dem vor allem der Hotel- und Veranstaltungsbereich durch die Lockdown-Maßnahmen unter Druck geriet, belebte sich der Markt im Jahr 2021. Gute Verbesserungen konnten in wichtigen Ländern wie Italien, Deutschland und Skandinavien erzielt werden. Die massiv steigenden Kosten (insbesondere Energie, aber auch Rohstoffe, Chemikalien, Verpackung) bedeuten jedoch auch große Herausforderungen.
Auch die ersten fünf Monate im Jahr 2022 seien gut verlaufen. Das Unternehmen sieht große Entwicklungsaktivitäten auf der Kundenseite rund um die neuen Trevira CS Marken. Der Trend zur Nachhaltigkeit hält weiter an, was sich in der Nachfrage nach Trevira CS eco widerspiegelt.

Auch die UV-stabilen, spinngefärbten Filamentgarne, die speziell für den Outdoor-Bereich entwickelt wurden und neben der Schwerentflammbarkeit auch eine hohe Performance in puncto Lichtbeständigkeit und Reißfestigkeit aufweisen, werden stark nachgefragt, da nun auch der Kreuzfahrtschiffbereich nach zwei Covid-Jahren langsam wieder anläuft.

Derzeit geht Trevira für die Entwicklung des Trevira CS Geschäftes im laufenden Jahr weiterhin davon aus, dass die positiven Signale durch die Nachholeffekte aus der Zeit des Corona-Lockdowns von größerer Bedeutung sind als mögliche Downsides, die durch steigende Energie- und Materialkosten und die daraus resultierende inflationäre Entwicklung verursacht werden.
Die Integration der Trevira GmbH in den Mutterkonzern Indorama Ventures PCL ist zügig vorangeschritten. Die in Bobingen ansässige Business Unit Fasern wurde dem sogenannten „Vertical Hygiene“ und die Business Unit Filamente in Guben dem „Vertical LifeStyle“ zugeordnet. Zielsetzung ist die Nutzung von Synergieeffekte, die durch die enge Zusammenarbeit im Verbund mit den jeweiligen Schwesterfirmen entstehen. Zusammen mit dem dritten Vertical „Mobility“ waren „Hygiene“ und LifeStyle“ mit einem Indorama Gemeinschaftsstand auf der Techtextil in Halle 9.1, Stand D05 vertreten.

Aufgrund der fortgeschrittenen Integration der Trevira GmbH in die Indorama Ventures PCL wird auch die Marke Trevira CS zukünftig als Marke des Mutterkonzerns kommuniziert werden. Diese Kommunikation wurde auch auf dem Trevira CS Messestand auf der Heimtextil Summer Edition aufgegriffen.

Trevira CS at the Heimtextil Summer Special

The Trevira CS brand will be presented at Heimtextil 2022. This year the trade fair will be held as a one-time Summer Special from 21 to 24 June in Frankfurt am Main, Germany. The booth will feature more than 200 fascinating, versatile, flame retardant Trevira CS fabrics.

These will be displayed in the Long Stay Apartment installation. Changing lifestyles, living and working arrangements as well as the housing shortage in countless large cities mean the Long Stay Apartment segment of the hospitality sector has experienced exponential growth, becoming ever more important. For this reason, it is the focus of this year’s Trevira CS booth. The presentation of the “Long Stay Apartment by Trevira CS” is intended to familiarise visitors – particularly interior architects, designers and furnishers – with the trendsetting, innovative uses of Trevira CS fabrics in the contract sector.

For the design of the apartment installation, the traditional Trevira CS Fabric Competition 2022 was announced at the end of 2021 and invited all customers to submit their latest Trevira CS products according to certain specifications. The winning fabrics will be announced at the trade fair and specially exhibited at the Trevira CS booth.

Director Marketing & Business Development Anke Vollenbröker: “Our exhibition gives exciting new insights into the modern concept of the Long Stay Apartment, presenting the live application of our customers’ Trevira CS innovations. An apartment designed for Long Stayers is a special challenge since it has to provide more than a hotel room or even an ordinary rental apartment: It needs to be an attractive temporary home while also offering the services and advantages of a hotel. We have made the Long Stay Apartment particularly “textile” and included submissions from all participants of our Trevira CS Fabric Competition 2022.”

IVC entry in the lobby register

Since 11 February 2022, the Industrievereinigung Chemiefaser e. V. (IVC) has been listed in the German Lobby Register under registration number R000411. German Parliament decided in March 2021 to introduce the register.

Following various cases of suspected corruption and the rather poor marks by Transparency International for the German federal states in a lobby ranking, calls for greater transparency had grown louder. The Lobby Register Act came into force on 1 January 2022 after it had been agreed by the political parties of CDU/CSU and SPD in long negotiations. Now the act obliges professional lobbyists to make an entry in the publicly accessible register, providing details about their clients and financial expenditure.

Since the IVC has already been registered in the European Transparency Register for several years on a voluntary basis, the Frankfurt-based industry association of major man-made fibre manufacturers in Germany, Austria and Switzerland is in favour of all initiatives that lead to more transparency in lobbying.

According to IVC's 1st Chairman Klaus Holz (managing director of Trevira GmbH), the IVC sees the existing act as a first step towards strengthening the acceptance of organisations which seek and maintain political contacts. Holz deplores that many gaps and exemptions remain at the time being. He emphasizes: "It is up to the German legislator to bring about equal treatment of every stakeholder in the political arena in Berlin as quickly as possible, so that all those involved can meet on an equal footing."

Dr. Wilhelm Rauch, managing director of the IVC, adds: "We are also active on behalf of our industry throughout Europe for all issues relating to environmental protection and REACH. Therefore, it is essential for our work to know which organisations and persons we encounter in these efforts."

Indorama at Index 2021 with Sustainability Portfolio

The Hygiene Fibers Group of Indorama Ventures (IVL) came together at the Index Show to present an all-inclusive range of recycled and biodegradable solutions for Hygiene Fiber and Nonwoven applications.

The combination of polymers, technologies, processes and global reach supported by the Hygiene Fibers Group – one of three business segments that make up Indorama Ventures – positions it within the Hygiene industry to meet increasingly challenging market demand for innovative sustainable solutions within the hygiene sector. Across the six brands and companies that make up Hygiene Fibers Group – Auriga, Avgol, FiberVisions, Indorama Asia, Trevira and Wellman International – sustainability and supporting customers to achieve circular objectives is integral to all efforts and fundamental to the ethos of the Hygiene business segment.

The Hygiene Fibers Group of Indorama Ventures (IVL) came together at the Index Show to present an all-inclusive range of recycled and biodegradable solutions for Hygiene Fiber and Nonwoven applications.

The combination of polymers, technologies, processes and global reach supported by the Hygiene Fibers Group – one of three business segments that make up Indorama Ventures – positions it within the Hygiene industry to meet increasingly challenging market demand for innovative sustainable solutions within the hygiene sector. Across the six brands and companies that make up Hygiene Fibers Group – Auriga, Avgol, FiberVisions, Indorama Asia, Trevira and Wellman International – sustainability and supporting customers to achieve circular objectives is integral to all efforts and fundamental to the ethos of the Hygiene business segment.

At the Index Show, the Hygiene Fibers Group launched CiCLO®, a textile technology which allows polyester and other synthetic materials to biodegrade like natural materials do in wastewater treatment plant sludge, sea water and landfill conditions, reducing synthetic microfiber pollution generated during washing, and minimizing plastic accumulation in landfills caused by discarded textiles.

In line with the company’s commitment to support customers with high performance products, while also reducing the impact on the environment, several of the  Hygiene Fibers brands, including Wellman International, Trevira GMBH and Auriga, have been working closely over the last 12 months with the IAM team and the CiCLO® technology. Developments have focused on PET and rPET staple fiber and filament sustainable solutions for applications where recycling is particularly challenging, such as Hygiene, Home Textiles and Automotive applications.

Strengthening the profile of biodegradable offerings within the Hygiene Fibers Group’s sustainability portfolio, Trevira introduced a new range of bicomponent fibres based on PLA and PBS (polybutylene succinate) at the Index show. Both biopolymers offer an exceptional technological opportunity in terms of environmental care and sustainability, while delivering optimum performance. Equally to PLA, PBS is recyclable and up to 100% biodegradable under industrial conditions.

Efforts towards supporting customers to achieve circular objectives are a priority within the Hygiene Fibers Group. This is reflected in the recycled fibers expertise deployed across the segment. Four Hygiene Fibers Group brands, IVL Asia, Auriga, Trevira and Wellman International offer an extensive range of 100% recycled, accredited PET fibers, across a multitude of fiber and nonwovens applications.

The development and evolution of sustainable technologies is central to activity across IVL’s Hygiene Fibers Group, with particular focus on sustainable polyolefin solutions. FiberVisions and ES-FIBERVISIONS, leading Polyolefin mono and bico fiber brands and sister company Avgol, have partnered with UK-based Polymateria to commercially harness the innovative ‘biotransformation’ technology pioneered by Polymateria. The patented technology alters the properties of polyolefins to make them biodegradable in a natural process.  Other polyolefin sustainable innovations within the Hygiene Fibers Group were featured at Index include biosurfactant and biocolourant developments being undertaken by the Avgol team with FiberVisons progressing sustainable design solutions, including lightweight, high performance, reduced carbon solutions.

Trevira CS – starting afresh

  • New brand Trevira CS eco

After a challenging 2020 for Trevira CS®, a year in which the coronavirus crisis put pressure on the contract market, in particular on the hotel and event sector, and also on the cruise shipping industry, the market is starting to show some signs of improvement. Numerous new developments are seizing upon the trends that have emerged since the crisis began.

  • New brand Trevira CS eco

After a challenging 2020 for Trevira CS®, a year in which the coronavirus crisis put pressure on the contract market, in particular on the hotel and event sector, and also on the cruise shipping industry, the market is starting to show some signs of improvement. Numerous new developments are seizing upon the trends that have emerged since the crisis began.

Although the coronavirus pandemic had a negative effect on individual business sectors, it also has the potential to open up new market opportunities for flame retardant Trevira CS fabrics in the long run. The increase in people working from home and the longer and more frequent stay within one’s own home have led to a change in perspective in terms of the relevance of interior design. The design of the living space has undergone a revaluation. Sustainability, durability, high quality, and the desire for safe products that contain little to no harmful substances are defining criteria for selecting a new textile interior. The colour range of the new Trevira CS developments is directed specifically towards this trend and often comes across as discreet and close to nature. After Trevira CS products have found their way more and more into private homes, the new Trevira CS collections include numerous attractive textiles not only for the contract sector but also for the residential sector.

In the contract sector, notably in the hotel industry, the trends towards sustainability and quality are likely to continue to grow. Moreover, there is an increase in awareness as far as hygiene requirements are concerned. Textiles that are easy to clean without losing their appearance or their functionality can excel here. Accordingly, products ordinarily used in the healthcare sector might start to be of interest to the hotel and catering industry, public spaces, the transport industry, and to offices. This will apply in particular to areas where there is a regular flow of visitors and where people come into direct contact with fabrics. Antimicrobial textiles provide additional protection in these situations. Besides their flame retardancy, many new Trevira CS products integrate additional functions such as noise or sun protection.

Trevira has launched the Trevira CS eco brand for flame retardant textiles that consist of recycled Trevira products.
The new Trevira CS eco brand unites sustainability and flame retardancy. Trevira offers products for this which have been manufactured through different recycling processes. The flame retardant filament yarns are based on the use of recycled PET bottles (post-consumer recycling). Textiles bearing the Trevira CS eco trademark consist of at least 50% recycled materials.

Trevira uses an agglomeration facility to recycle reusable waste materials from production to manufacture recycled fibres that, after further processing, retain the same quality and performance characteristics as the original products (pre-consumer recycling).
