Starlinger & Co. GmbH., Austria
A company with a long history
Our corporate beginnings go back to 1835, to a company founded under the name Franz Laubek. Its initial business was the production of stationary steam engines and drive elements for the young and booming industry. In 1895 the company was registered under the name Franz Laubek’s Successors.
In 1897, under the management of Franz Starlinger, the company changed its production to textile machinery, particularly machines for making passementerie – fringes, trims, braiding.
In 1913 the company was registered with the authorities as Starlinger & Co.
1920 again saw a change in production to specialised winding machines for the weaving industry.
With the development of winders specially designed for man-made fibres in 1955, Starlinger pioneered a new field. At that time, artificial fibres first entered the European market (in 1963, the developers of polypropylene were awarded the Nobel Prize for their innovation).
… is the world’s leading supplier of machinery for woven plastic packaging production, plastics recycling and refinement.
For 50 years we have been producing machinery for sacks, packaging fabrics and technical textiles made of plastic tapes. The portfolio of the textile packaging division ranges from tape extrusion lines, winders and circular looms to machines for coating, printing, and sack conversion.
In addition, we look back at more than 30 years of experience in the development and production of plastics recycling machinery. The product portfolio of Starlinger’s recycling technology and viscotec divisions comprises machinery solutions for the recycling and refinement of plastics such as PE, PP, PA, PS, BOPP and (food grade) PET.
Within the scope of our global presence, dedicated customer support and a clear vision of highest client satisfaction define our operations. Starlinger is a family business and, as such, combines the close relations with employees and business partners with the ambition, capacity, and innovative force of a global company.
As Starlinger has grown, its roots remain strong. As we continue to develop new branches and reach ever-greater heights, Starlinger’s family heritage ensures the company also has a firm base, remains steadfast, and provides a unique connection between our origins and future aspirations.
