Josef Haidlmair takes over the forging plant of his father Friedrich Haidlmair with an operating area of 250m² and 5 employees and starts the department mouldmaking with one employee.

Josef Haidlmair begins his search for promising mould makingtechnologies and experiments with wire-EDM technology, which at that time was a new development in electro discharge machining.

The wire-EDM part of the business is so successful that the mould making department and office have to be extended. The work force in the mould making department increases steadily and the forging side of the business is discontinued.

Only six years after starting out in the toolmaking business, Haidlmair sets up an apprentice-workshop to train his own employees. The majority of these trainees are still working at HAIDLMAIR.

Erection of a machine hall and increase in production capacity through the purchase of new machining centres, the aim being the machining of considerably larger workpieces.

The first injection mould for a bottle crate. This marks the beginning of a specialized mould making capability that will ultimately make HAIDLMAIR the market leader in this special field.

Construction of an assembly hall and office building. The first large-capacity injection moulding machine (8,000 kN) is purchased for the proving of larger-sized injection moulds.

The first injection mould for collapsible crates. This is a so-called "family mould", in which all five individual parts of the crate can be produced in one single shot.

HAIDLMAIR recognizes the signs of the times and is one of the first mould making firms to introduce high speed cutting (HSC) technology.

The first injection mould for Euro pallets. This marks the beginning of HAIDLMAIR's competence in the production of large-sized moulds.

Capacity increase through new 5-axis machining centres. From now on, HAIDLMAIR can also handle much larger package orders for bottle crate projects at short notice.

HAIDLMAIR builds the company's own prefabrication facility - at the same time technology upgrades and capacity expansion.

Extensions to production and office buildings. Air conditioning in all production buildings.

Size of mould proving facility increased by 1,400 m2. Existing mould sampling machines augmented by ENGEL DUO 1500 large-capacity machine

HAIDLMAIR's new "linear drive machine" is the first one to be put into service in Europe. Thus HAIDLMAIR is now the first company to use CNC machines equipped with highly dynamic linear drives for the considerably more efficient machining of complex geometries.

First injection moulds for "big boxes" (base area 120 x 80 cm / height 100 cm) weighing 38 kg per piece – yet another example of HAIDLMAIR's competence in building large-capacity moulds.

An additional CNC production hall (1,500 m²) and a newly built office are put into service. HAIDLMAIR wins the den award "Mouldmaker of the year" (External mouldmaker more than 100 employees).

Investments into simulation programs (Moldflow). Purchases of various new machines in production, upgrade of our internal training facility with a 5-axis-CNC-Centre and 3D-design software for the professional training of our future employees

30th anniversary and relaunch of a new HAIDLMAIR CI. Presentation of the first E-roadster with a wheel hub motor, the HAI E3.

Biggest order in company's history: 25 injection moulds for collapsible crates with an New investments into the modernisation of the machinery.

Completion of the largest and heaviest mould in the history of the company (approx. 80 tons) for a recacling container. Mario Haidlmair takes over as a CEO from his father Josef. Construction of a hall for large mouldmaking.

Modernisation of the machinery, big investments in new processing centers and redesign of the production facilities. Finalist at the "Mouldmaker of the Year" award.

Opening of the HAIDLMAIR Service Center in Kirchdorf an der Krems. Investments of € 7 Mio. in the factory in Nussbach. World's first CNC-automation in the mouldmaking industry starts its operation.

HAIDLMAIR wins the category "External Mouldmaker over 50 employees" of the competition "Excellence in Production". Investments in new technologies (3D-printers for metal and plastics).

HAIDLMAIR closed the "Closed Loop for Engineering" with the investment in the largest industrial computer tomograph. Acquisition of a measurement technology company. HAIDLMAIR is able to offer wide-ranging services in the field of measurement technology.

Foundation of the new subsidiaries FDU Hotrunner Ltd. in Frankenthal/Germany and Digital Moulds in Sierning/Upper Austria. 40 years "For Higher Productivity": HAIDLMAIR celebrates its 40th anniversary.

In a difficult year, characterised by the Corona pandemic, HAIDLMAIR further invests in its machinery.

With the foundation of new companies in the USA (HAIDLMAIR Corp.) und Germany (HAIDLMAIR International Service North GmbH) HAIDLMAIR expands its service capacities.
