• New chapter in successful long-term collaboration with acetic acid
storage tank
• Sustainable supply chain and optimized logistics for full flexibility
Lenzing – The Lenzing Group, a leading provider of regenerated cellulose
fibers for the textile and nonwoven industries, and Speyer & Grund,
specialists in vinegar essences and acidulants as well as long-term
partners for LENZING™ Acetic Acid Biobased, announce the completion of a
new acetic acid storage tank. This successful strategic project is not
only a strong signal for the long-term partnership but also marks a new
level of supply chain excellence.
The new storage tank, built at Speyer & Grund’s site in Meerane (Germany),
contains a tank for the exclusive filling with LENZING™ Acetic Acid
Biobased. This is produced as a by-product in pulp production. The now
increased tank capacity also enhances flexibility in the supply chain.
Elisabeth Stanger, Senior Director Biorefinery & Co-Products: “Lenzing is
a European model company of the bioeconomy with its biorefinery products
and the most efficient use of the resource wood. We are pleased with the
long-standing, trusting partnership with Speyer & Grund, which represents
an important step towards an even more sustainable supply chain.”
“LENZING™ Acetic Acid Biobased has been an integral part of our Surig
vinegar essence since 1983. The new tank solution means growth for us with
maximum supply security. At the same time, we increase flexibility for
delivery logistics as an important component for close cooperation with a
strong partner,” explains Axel Rosener, Managing Director of Speyer &
Grund GmbH.
The ceremonial commissioning of the acetic acid storage tank took place on
Thursday, April 10, 2025.
The biorefinery process in Lenzing optimally utilizes the renewable raw
material wood, the starting material for pulp and fiber production, and
converts it into valuable products such as biobased acetic acid. LENZING™
Acetic Acid Biobased, which has a carbon footprint over 85 percent lower
than fossil-based acetic acid, is used in the food, pharmaceutical,
cosmetic, cleaning, chemical, and textile industries and in textile sector
processes such as washing, dyeing, and finishing.
