Linz Textil intends to close down thread production in the Linz-based spinning mill, though not on 30 June 2016, as was earlier stated, but only 2017. The shutdown plans for the spinning mill remain valid. 45 employees will be affected by the decision.

Lenzing AG had told Linz Textil at the end of August 2015 that in the course of the first half of 2016 Lenzing would wind down production of one of its fibres and that the Linz-Textil volume would be reduced to a half.
