Company History
1699
Stallinger was first mentioned in a document.
1950 – 1960
Leopold Stallinger Sr. developed the sawmill business into a future-oriented industrial company. Stallinger purchased his first forest areas.
1992 – 1998
The 1990s were characterized by the growing export business: Franz & Leopold Jr. took over the business in the 8th generation, set up the Stallinger Holding GmbH (Stalling Holding Inc.) and opened a second plant in Amstetten (Austria).
2004 – 2008
In the early 2000s, Stallinger expanded by taking over the Kaufmann Holz group of companies, opened a third sawmill in Chur (Switzerland) and established headquarters in St. Georgen. 2008 sees the buyout of all 6 plants with more than 1,000 employees and a turnover of € 300 million.
2009
Stallinger developed a new concept and specialized on international trade and the production of scaffolding boards. In the course of these changes, a plant was opened at Zipf (Austria) and the first real estate investments were performed.
2010 – 2015
Commitment to and investment in sustainable energy generation were becoming increasingly important. This is reflected by the opening of the first photovoltaic park in Germany and conceptualizing a hydropower plant in Peru (HPP Carhuac).
2015/2016
Stallinger reintegrated the Frankenmarkt sawmill site, including the headquarters at St. Georgen, into the family business.
2018
The Carhuac hydropower plant was connected to the grid. Due to the favourable topographical conditions, power generation makes use of the drop heights.
2019 – 2023
Years of extensive investment followed in order to make the sawmill fit for the future. These included a new sawing line, two large-scale PV systems, a second railway siding and a series of modern electric lifting vehicles.
Today and in the future
With the completion of the pellet production and a low-emission biomass heating plant at the Frankenmarkt site, Stallinger is continuing along the path of sustainability. We will also carry on with planning and implementing renewable energy projects, such as a second hydropower plant in Peru and the reforestation of pastureland in New Zealand. We will keep the ball rolling.
