Heinz Faigle

1947

Heinz Faigle, founder of the company that bears his name, is a passionate inventor, developer and businessman. Back then, plastics technology is still in its infancy. But Heinz Faigle quickly discovers that new, modern thermoplastics are the ideal material for his research and development work. From then on, all of his work revolves around plastics as well as tribology, the science of friction and wear.

Plant in Hard

1963

The injection moulding equipment at the Hard plant was fully operational, and Heinz Faigle opens the company’s first plant in Switzerland, just across the border in Au.

Developing X-materials

1964

X-materials enable founder Heinz Faigle to develop the company’s first wear-resistant semifinished plastic products. The products are initially used in freight wagon bogies, sliding elements and gearing shells for fifth-wheel couplings on trucks, to name just a few applications, marking the first chapter in this global success story.

First faigle roller for escalators

1969

The company brings its latest new development to market: Schindler builds faigle rollers into its escalators for the first time. Made from thermoplastic polyurethane, the newly developed roller revolutionises the escalator industry. faigle never looks back, going on to become a global leader in the niche market for rollers for escalators and moving walks.

Expansion with second site in Hard

1990

Wolfgang Faigle remains true to his father’s innovation and expansion strategy, opening a second site in Austria. Also based in Hard, faigle Industrieplast GmbH focuses exclusively on producing and selling semifinished products for technical applications. Over the following years, custom services such as cutting, milling, planing and grooving are added to the portfolio. 1st-Cut® becomes the company’s trademark service.

Suzhou site opens

2003

Asia is a booming market for the escalator industry, with faigle acting as a partner and supplier, allowing it to provide regional customers with outstanding products and top-quality service. Like its sister facility in Hard, the Suzhou plant specialises in development and production.
