FISIPE opens Cogeneration & Pilot Plant for carbon fibre production

On the past 10th of December, FISIPE inaugurated the two most recent large investments made in its plant – the Cogeneration Plant and the Pilot Plant for the Production of Carbon Fibre.



FISIPE is a producer of acrylic fibres with plant at Lavradio, Portugal, operating since 1976. The company was set up in 1973 as a result of a joint-venture between CUF and the Japanese Group Mitsubishi and is quoted in the Lisbon Stock Exchange since 1986. FISIPE, from a company producing basically standard textile fibre has gradually become a producer of special acrylic fibres, namely pre-dyed fibres, functional fibres and fibres for technical applications.

This was in fact our strategic option – to invest, through innovation and a systematic research, in new applications for the acrylic fibre as well as in new requirements in the current segments.
