ALTEX TEXTILE RECYCLING
COMPANY HISTORY

1936
The history of the"ALTEX Group" takes us back to the year 1936. With a traveling trade license in his pocket and a "Packfiets", Bernhard Stienemann senior traded in scrap metal, furs and all kinds of waste. This laid the first foundations for recycling as we know it today.
1951
His son Günter Stienemann joined the company. Together with his wife Helga, they refined and specialized the collection, sorting and processing of the materials for targeted reintroduction to the market.
1975
This was followed by the founding of
"ALTEX Gronauer Filz GmbH & Co KG." Under the management of Bernhard Stienemann junior, the company specialized in the production of needled nonwovens and continued to develop products ranging from carpets and geotextiles to special nonwovens, e.g. for the automotive industry.
1989
ALTEX Textil Recycling GmbH & Co KG" was founded. With Karsten Stienemann as Managing Director and a strong team behind him, the production capacity was further expanded. Through the consistent development of new products, it was possible to expand the customer base in various areas of industry, such as automotive suppliers, nonwoven/needle felt production, home textiles, etc.
1989
At the same time, the
"ALTEX Faser + Garn GmbH & Co. KG" was founded, offering semi-worsted yarns for the carpet industry and specialty yarns for manufacturers of technical fabrics and ropes. Today, the company no longer operates separately, but also under the name
"ALTEX Textil Recycling GmbH & Co. KG".
