A brief look at the history of the Beisteiner company ...

The founder

Josef Beisteiner, aufgewachsen inmitten einer kleinen Landwirtschaft, entwickelte bereits während seiner Schulzeit in den 60er-Jahren erste Geschäftsideen: Er fertigte und verkaufte Modelldrachen. Seine Ladenschaft, die Technik war geweckt, woraufhin er in der Voestalpine whereupon he completed an apprenticeship as a toolmaker. During his work as department head of printing at the Landesverlag he finally gained his first insights into screen and pad printing.

Company formation

Josef Beisteiner, ahead of his time, recognized the potential of screen printing and pad printing. In 1982, he fulfilled his grand dream and established the company "Beisteiner Josef" - Grafische Maschinen & Systemtechnik. Initially, the product portfolio was limited to application technology and the supply of screen printing and pad printing machines.

Extension of the product portfolio

With his experience in mechanical engineering, he expanded the portfolio in the following years by adding automation of printing machines and a machinery repair service. Due to the increasing demand, in 1986, a commercial hall with administrative and exhibition spaces was built and occupied in Au bei Roitham, directly on the B144 federal road.

Over the years, his company gained recognition far beyond the borders of Austria through exhibitions at national and international trade fairs.
