Based on the feedback received from customers to date, Kelheim Fibres GmbH is currently preparing for an orderly phase-out of production by the end of March 2026. Discussions with the Works Council are proceeding constructively.
At the same time, a potential strategic investor has entered the M&A process at very short notice. This investor had not previously participated in the process and is currently reviewing a possible investment in or acquisition of Kelheim Fibres. The assessment is still at an early stage, and the outcome of this review process remains open. The company’s management supports any realistic option for the continuation of operations.
Employees will continue to be informed regularly and transparently about the current status. At the same time, management is aware that both the successful execution of an orderly phase-out and any potential transaction depend to a significant extent on the commitment, support and cooperation of the employees.
The management would like to expressly thank all employees for their extraordinary commitment, professionalism and long-standing loyalty.
Kelheim Fibres produces about 35,000 tons per year of specialty viscose fibres that are mainly used for (feminine) hygiene products, specialty papers and technical applications. The company is located in the town of Kelheim, in Bavaria, Germany.
