Lenzing Group has introduced its latest innovation, TENCEL™ Lyocell – HV100, to the China market at Intertextile Shanghai Apparel Fabrics – Spring Edition, marking a significant step in advancing denim and woven fabric development through strategic mill partnerships.
Originally developed for denim and first unveiled at Kingpins Amsterdam in 2025, the new fiber is now expanding into broader woven applications, including chinos and shirting. The launch is being driven by close collaboration with Chinese textile mills, which are playing a key role in scaling innovation for both domestic and global markets.
TENCEL™ Lyocell – HV100 is engineered using Variocut technology to create a more natural, matte texture, offering a cotton-like appearance while maintaining the softness and environmental benefits associated with TENCEL™ fibers.
According to Lenzing, strong consumer trust in the TENCEL™ brand—particularly in China—is supporting growing demand, with high awareness and purchase intent among apparel buyers.
Industry partners, including Advance Denim and Texhong International Group, highlighted the fiber’s ability to deliver improved texture, high processing efficiency, and versatility across different fabric constructions.
The company expects the China debut of HV100 to accelerate product innovation, enable higher-value textile developments, and strengthen collaboration across the global textile value chain.
