Cupro fibres Cupro fibre was developed by Louis Despeissis in 1890 and the development of the fibre manufacturing process continued in Germany and in 1908 the German company J.P. Bemberg launched Bemberg silk, which was the first commercial cupro fibre, followed by the launch of Bamsilke, Cuprioni, Cupresa and Cuprama. However, cheaper viscose was becoming
