STARLINGER, THE HOLISTIC TECHNOLOGY LEADER: PROVIDING ADVANCED MACHINERY TO THAI ENTREPRENEURS
With cutting-edge technology for woven plastic packaging production and plastics recycling, Starlinger offers the entire machinery to fully close the loop for woven plastic packaging and many other industrial and post-consumer plastics.
Founded in 1835, Vienna-based Starlinger & Co Ges.m.b.H. leads the world market in machinery and process technology for bags and technical fabrics made of plastic tapes. The family-owned company is a pioneer in the field of circular packaging solutions and does not only offer sustainable packaging concepts made of woven polypropylene tape fabric, but also recycling solutions for plastics as well as PET sheet production lines that process up to 100 % recycled PET.
The high-tech woven sack production equipment from Starlinger enables packaging producers to manufacture a wide range of top-quality sacks and big bags made of woven polypropylene and PET efficiently and with low raw material and energy consumption. The sacks are used in various industries, e.g. in agriculture, chemicals or construction, for packaging dry bulk goods such as seeds, grains, flour, sugar, fruits and vegetables, animal feed, chemicals, fertilizer, cement and similar products. Well known sack types developed by Starlinger include AD*STAR® block bottom valve bags and PP*STAR® poly woven pinch bottom bags.
With proven competence in plastics recycling and refinement, Starlinger also supplies technology solutions to the plastics recycling industry. Starlinger recycling systems process a wide variety of plastics such as PE, PP, PA PS, BOPP and PET. The company divisions Starlinger recycling technology and Starlinger viscotec are leading technology suppliers in the field of PET recycling and rPET sheet lines for thermoforming. Many brand owners and national and international authorities such as the European EFSA and US FDA have authorised the Starlinger recycling process for the production of food-grade rPET and rHDPE regranulate.
Promoting Circularity for Plastic Packaging
Combining its long-standing expertise in woven plastic sack production and plastics recycling, Starlinger has developed advanced technology solutions for using recycled input materials in woven sack production. Starlinger tape extrusion systems process high shares of recycled PP and PET (up to 100 %), ensuring best product quality for the produced tape fabric so it meets all safety standards. This allows woven plastic packaging producers to comply with mandatory recycled content targets and enables circularity for woven bags made from PP and PET.
The Keys to Success: Leading Technology and Customer Oriented Service
Starlinger has been active on the Thai market for over 35 years, providing market-leading raffia bag production technology to many packaging producers such as Lucky Star Weaving, Asia Polysacks, C.P. Poly-Industry, Chaisiri Nylon Canvas Factory, or Bangkok Polysack. With plastics recycling gaining importance in the past decade, Starlinger has been able to support plastics recycling entrepreneurs in Thailand such as Royce Universal with the most advanced technologies based on 30 years of accumulated know-how in plastics recycling.
For its customers, Starlinger provides the full package of services to achieve optimum results for long-term customer satisfaction. In addition to pre-sales consulting, machine installation, and trainings for the efficient operation of the machinery, Starlinger supports customers with quick spare part supply for optimum machine uptime, regular Preventative Maintenance (PM), the latest technological know-how, and retrofits and technology upgrades for older machine models – sometimes over decades. In Thailand, Starlinger has a branch office in Bangkok with a well-stocked spare parts storage and a dedicated team of local service technicians for Starlinger’s textile packaging and recycling machinery. Headed by Mr. Werner Berger from Austria, who took over management from Mr. Michael Brunbauer as of January 2026, they provide quick and professional after-sales service to customers in the area.
