About STARK Spannsysteme
The high-tech company STARK Spannsysteme, founded in 1977, is considered a pioneer in the development and manufacture of zero point clamping systems and is the first company on the market to have specialised exclusively in this technology for decades.
Maximum quality and precision distinguish what is probably the most comprehensive product range in the field of highly productive workpiece clamping on the market. STARK components, products and systems make manufacturing more efficient and more flexible.
STARK Spannsysteme – where technological lead meets mountains.
The economy in Vorarlberg – the westernmost federal state in Austria – is as varied as its landscape. A variety of industries and regional value chains on an international level characterise the economy of this region. In terms of patent applications, Vorarlberg regularly ranks amongst the top five regions in Europe. Due to its economic power, this state is on a par with the metropolitan regions of Paris and Stockholm. The average person from the Vorarlberg region is said to have the qualities of diligence, efficiency, open-mindedness and courage. Performance is valued by the population just as much as creativity and commitment. Vorarlberg is a border area. 80 % of the 350 km long state border is an Austrian national border. The region borders Switzerland, Germany and the Principality of Liechtenstein. This unique four-country location is the main reason for the openness and internationality of the local economy. STARK Spannsysteme is located amidst this remarkable economic region, surrounded by spectacular Alpine scenery.
Equipped for the new tasks
STARK Spannsysteme expanded product groups and invested in extension.
In 2017, STARK moved from Götzis to the Römergrund industrial park in Rankweil. At that time, 6.5 million euros were invested in the new building. In 2021, STARK took over the workpiece clamping systems (HILMA machine vices) within the Roemheld Group and invested in the company location in Rankweil. Construction work began in the summer of 2021 and was completed in the second quarter of 2022. In addition to the extension on its own property, further areas for future extensions could also be secured.
The new production areas were added to the existing building on two sides. In addition, a photovoltaic system and green roof and facade areas were implemented as an ecological contribution in the course of the extension. The costs for the extension were put at around 3.5 million euros. With the takeover of the product group and the new building, the number of employees has also increased.
