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.</p> <p>In 1897, under the management of Franz Starlinger, the company changed its production to textile machinery, particularly machines for making passementerie – fringes, trims, braiding.<br> In 1913 the company was registered with the authorities as Starlinger & Co.</p> <p>1920 again saw a change in production to specialised winding machines for the weaving industry.</p> <p>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).</p> <p> </p> </div> <div class="col-lg-3 col-10 offset-1"> <figure data-aos="fade-left" class="mb-4"> <img class="img-fluid" title="Franz Starlinger&nbsp;" src="/fileadmin/_processed_/6/b/csm_Fotobuch_0207_f8273c0ca1.jpg" width="700" height="1139" alt="Franz Starlinger" /> <figcaption> <p>Franz Starlinger </p> </figcaption> </figure> </div> </div> </div> </section> <section class="frame frame-default frame-type-text-media"> <div class="container-fluid"> <div class="row justify-content-lg-center"> <div class="col-lg-3 col-10 offset-1 offset-lg-0 order-2 order-lg-1"> <figure data-aos="fade-left" class="mb-4"> <img class="img-fluid" title="F.X.

Starlinger-Huemer (1933-2002) took over ownership and management of the company in1959; his wife, Erna Starlinger-Huemer, became commercial director. In Weissenbach an der Triesting, the first assembly hall was erected in 1968 on the grounds of the former Pittel Cement Works. With the industrial production of self-developed circular looms for PP tapes, Starlinger took on the entirely new focus of an export-oriented enterprise. A new generation of tape winders, together with specially designed sack conversion lines, printing machines, baling presses and externally sourced PP tape extrusion lines completed the machine portfolio for the production of woven plastic sacks made of polypropylene tapes.</p> <p>At the first Austrian machinery exhibition in China (Peking) in 1973, Starlinger showed the circular loom – with the consequence that in the following 10-12 years 30 complete sack plants were sold to China. In 1990, Starlinger purchased a license for the production of tape extrusion lines and subsequently developed its own technology in this field. In 2022, Starlinger delivered its 1000<sup>th</sup> starEX tape line.</p> <p>Well established as global player in the plastics machinery industry and as world market leader for tape extrusion lines and circular weaving technology, Starlinger founded the Business Unit <a href="/en/recycling-technology#c209">Starlinger recycling technology</a> in 2000 with the aim of supplying recycling systems for a wide range of plastic materials and applications.</p> <p> </p> </div> </div> </div> </section> <section class="frame frame-default frame-type-text-media"> <div class="container-fluid"> <div class="row justify-content-lg-center"> <div class="col-lg-6 col-10 offset-1 offset-lg-0"> <p>2002 saw a change of generations in the Starlinger management, with Angelika Huemer taking over as managing partner in her parents’ enterprise.</p> <p>In 2002, <a href="https://www.sahmwinder.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">Georg Sahm GmbH & Co.
