SHANGHAI – Sateri, the world’s largest producer of viscose fibre, has announced plans to expand its Lyocell production capacity in China, with the view to manufacturing an additional 500,000 tonnes a year by 2025.
The strategy will see Sateri establish sites across the country’s Jiangsu province, with work already underway on a 100,000 tonne facility in Changzhou.
