Demand for recycling systems has soared over the past few years, and Starlinger, an Austrian family-owned machinery manufacturer has responded accordingly.
Its recycling technology division generates 130 million euros ($158.7 million) in annual turnover ‘constitutes an important mainstay for the future of Starlinger - a mainstay that we intend to build on’, said Angelika Huemer, CEO and managing partner of Starlinger & Co. GmbH. “We decided to expand our production capacity by opening a new factory.”
The new plant is located in Germany at the same site as Unirota Maplan Schwerin GmbH, a company affiliated with the Starlinger Group. Starlinger, said Heumer, needed to act quickly in order to be able to keep up with demand and Unirota had a number of production halls that it was not using.
