Starlinger donates circular looms to train Turkish students
Starlinger, Vienna, Austria, has presented two of its alpha 6 circular looms as a gift to Naci Topçuoğlu Vocational School, part of Gaziantep University. Angelika Huemer, the company’s managing partner and CEO, said that Turkey is one of the world’s most important suppliers of woven packaging, with many producers located in and around the city of Gaziantep. She explained that her company had been supplying machinery to Turkey for more than 30 years and it was therefore a logical step to give students who will later work in this industry the possibility to train on the most up-to-date equipment. She went on: “Turkey is one of the most important markets for Starlinger. Not only do we have many long-time customers here; Turkish woven sack producers are always interested in innovations and many of our latest machine developments go to Turkey first.”
The company’s alpha 6 looms are designed to produce fabric out of polypropylene/polyethylene tapes which are used for woven plastic packaging production. Gaziantep is a major manufacturing region for woven PP fabric and machine-made carpets, accounting for around 50% of the nation’s total bag production volume with an estimated annual value of some US$500M. Starlinger is the world’s foremost supplier of machinery and complete lines for woven plastic bag production. www.starlinger.com
