What Lenzing Plastic does

Lenzing Plastics GmbH & Co KG is an Austrian specialty plastics manufacturer founded in 1966 (operating as an independent company with a 2013 incorporation reference) and headquartered in Lenzing, Upper Austria. The company produces PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) and thermoplastic products, including the registered PROFILEN® PTFE brand of yarns, films, tapes and tubes, MDO-PE/MDO-PP oriented films, functional laminates, technical textiles and construction/insulation materials. Underlying capabilities span monoaxial stretching (a process Lenzing invented in 1966), extrusion coating up to 3.22m web width, adhesive lamination up to 14 layers, thermobonding, hotmelt lamination, cast/blown film extrusion and flat weaving, all supported by an in-house pilot plant and technology center that together develop roughly 1,500 new products per year.

The company sells primarily B2B to industrial manufacturers across five verticals: medical and hygiene (heart valve yarns, PTFE sutures, ePTFE stent coverings, skin protection textiles under ISO 13485), construction and insulation, films and packaging, technical laminates and textiles, and electronics and cable industry. Distribution is direct, with engineering consultation from product specification through delivery, supported by a European production base across four plants in Lenzing and Seewalchen and a US contact office. Pricing is quote-based against customer specifications, volumes and customization levels, with no public rate cards; contracts are typically multi-year. The company maintains ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 13485, ISO 45001 and BRC GS certifications, each held for more than 20 consecutive years, and operates research partnerships with Johannes Kepler University Linz and the University of Leoben. Nord Holding is the only disclosed institutional investor (2015 round), and revenue, valuation and headcount figures are not publicly disclosed.
