About American Starlinger-Sahm
American Starlinger-Sahm, Inc. (ASSI) is a US subsidiary of the Starlinger Group headquartered in Fountain Inn, South Carolina. The company handles sales, installation, service and spare parts supply for machines and complete lines from Starlinger (woven plastic bags, plastic recycling and PET refinement) as well as Georg Sahm (winding technology for high-performance fibers, carbon fibers and slit-film tapes). In addition, ASSI represents Robco Twister and SAB Material Handling products. At its own tech center in Fountain Inn, customers can run trials with their own materials, including on the recoSTAR dynamic 105 recycling line in combination with the viscoZERO 600 refinement system for food-grade rPET and deodorization. The target market is the USA and Canada; machine manufacturing takes place at the parent company in Austria.
