About the Company
Lausitzer Naturfaser Ebersbach UG (haftungsbeschränkt), based in Ebersbach-Neugersdorf near Bautzen in Saxony, is an association of industrial companies and a long-standing employee of the Zittau-Görlitz University of Applied Sciences. In close cooperation with the Fraunhofer IKTS in Dresden, the company develops alternative technologies based on plant fibres from plant waste. Its service portfolio includes individually tailored fibre processing and molding processes as well as the design, development and construction of the associated plant and machine technology for the production of ecological packaging and products such as plates or food trays. The offering is complemented by consulting, planning, installation, commissioning and after-sales service as well as the innovative coating of biogenic natural fibre composites (EcoCover®). As a system supplier, the company offers a complete package from fibre extraction to the finished end product for customers worldwide.
