Hanffaser Geiseltal eG, based in Mücheln, Germany has ordered a complete plant for processing hemp straw from Temafa Maschinenfabrik GmbH, a leading supplier of fiber processing machinery. With this project, Hanffaser Geiseltal is implementing its first industrial plant for processing hemp straw into hemp fibres. The plant will be delivered, installed and commissioned in the course of this year.

The plant is specifically engineered for the efficient processing of hemp straw with an aim of producing high-quality fiber products, which are primarily used in the building materials industry such as sustainable insulation materials and other ecological applications.

“We are delighted to be supporting Hanffaser Geiseltal as it enters the field of industrial hemp fibre processing,” says Jörg Morgner, managing director, Temafa. “This project underscores the growing importance of natural fibers as sustainable raw materials and our expertise in developing bespoke plant solutions.”

With this investment, Hanffaser Geiseltal is strengthening its position in the field of sustainable raw materials and sending a clear signal regarding the increasing industrialization of hemp processing in Germany.
