The history of ALTEX group started in 1936. The founder, Bernhard Stienemann senior, started business by trading old metal, coats and many other kinds of wastes. That's how he build up the basis of the today known “recycling”.

His son, Günter Stienemann, joint in the business in 1951. He and his wife, Helga Stienemann, refined and specialised the business. So they started with collecting, sorting and processing the materials to bring the old materials back into the industry as new raw materials.

In 1975 ALTEX Gronauer Filz GmbH & Co. KG was founded, by Günter Stienemann. Bernhard Stienemann junior, the son of Günter and Helga Stienemann, became the managing director later. Under his direction the company specialized the product portfolio in manufacturing of nonwoven and developed products like carpets, geotextiles and other special nonwovens for e.g. automotive industry.

In 1989 Günter Stienemann has founded ALTEX Textil-Recycling GmbH & Co. KG and ALTEX Faser + Garn GmbH & Co. KG. Both companies were assumed by the second son, Karsten Stienemann. With his team he enlarged the production capacity. By developing new products consequently, the clientele could be extended more and more. So now the products find their use in many different uses like automotive, nonwoven, domestic etc.
