We unlock the power of nature

Welcome to AustroCel Hallein

Our vision of sustainability begins where others reach their limits.

With the idea of intelligently unlocking the potential of foresty by-products and with minimal environmental impact, we push boundaries with innovation and experience. With the ambition to pioneer the circular economy, favouring the material use of the 40% wood residuals over burning, we address some of the world’s most pressing challenges.

It begins with nature. It begins with AustroCel.

We extract value from wood down to the last fibre and beyond. With the ambition to pioneer the circular economy, AustroCel focuses on sustainable and CO₂-neutral solutions. Through the cascading use of wood, we develop the full potential of natural resources and create a future worth living with the power of nature.

We live circular economy

We transform industrial wood residues into valuable, sustainable materials and drive forward the circular economy. What was once waste becomes a resource for a better tomorrow.

We live Biorefinery

AustroCel is one of Europe’s most advanced integrated Biorefineries. In our Biorefinery, industrial wood residues are refined into high value materials, serving the mobility, agriculture, textile, pharmaceutical, construction industries, and many more.

In a nutshell: We develop customised high-performance specialty products across three business sectors, by utilising industrial wood residues down to the last fibre and beyond.

High value Bioproducts from local wood residues

Our innovations touch lives every day, often without people even realising it. Without our cellulose, toothpaste would be liquid, paint wouldn’t stick to walls, even sausages or tires would lack essential components.

Bioperformance

Our Bioperformance products set new standards for a sustainable and innovative industry. We supply customised solutions for pharmaceuticals, food or construction - from nitrocellulose, ethers, casings and casings to hydrogels for agriculture. Sustainable, powerful and amazingly versatile.

Biofuels

To meet the rapidly growing demand, we supply next-gen green chemicals and biofuels for low-CO transportation fuels and green chemistry applications. Our biogenic gas and energy also supply power generation, heating and fuels - for a clean, green future.

Biomaterials

We provide premium cellulose for value adding textile applications such as fireproof fabrics and modal that meet the highest standards of performance.
