SUVESUMIN COMES AGAIN
Suvesumin is a day festival that opens Viscosa’s summer season.
On June 20, 2026, the grand opening ceremony of the Viscosa Culture Factory will take place together with the Suvesumin day festival! This day carries special significance as we celebrate both the opening of the renovated Viscosa Culture Factory and the 111th anniversary of the beginning of the viscose factory’s operations.
