Almost right at the time of our 25th company anniversary we returned to Schornacker, where everything started in 1995.
In summer 1995 Klaus Lange and Udo Piontek established at Schornacker STAR Kunststoffverarbeitungs GmbH, which was rebranded to STAR Piping Systems GmbH in 2016. An initial relocation took place in 2010, at that time the company facilities moved to their current location at Schepersweg in Wesel. There the manufacturer of pipes and fittings made of polypropylene (PE) and polyethylene (PE) became a provider of plastic piping systems on a global scale.
Not least because of the generation change in management in 2016, when the company founders passed on the administration to Andreas Bramert and Florian Lange, the firm underwent significant changes. Both entrepreneurs have been aware of the need to respond to phenomena such as digitalisation, globalisation and the climate change. In the words of the two Managing Directors:
Looking to the future
“Compared to the early years the production is more industrialised. The pipeline dimensions also increased substantially. Nowadays we make fittings up to an outer diameter of 2000 mm. Especially abroad the demand of safe pipeline systems for the transpotation of gas, industrial and potable water has greatly increased.“This summer, almost exactly at the 25th company’s anniversary, the premises will be moved back to the Schornacker. “We reached our limits with the existing size of halls and most of all with the limited external area“ explains Florian Lange.
