Lenzing fiber price raise

This measure was unavoidable because fiber prices are currently very low and prices for fiber production raw materials are already climbing again.

The price increase will affect the whole fiber portfolio, textile fibers as well as nonwoven fibers. The rate of increase varies from fiber type to fiber type, but is at least seven percent.
