On April 14, 1949, the „engineering company Herbert Stein“ was registered as a business enterprise at the regulatory authority of the city Mönchengladbach. The change of name to „Textechno Herbert Stein“ took place a few years later.

From its very beginning, Textechno, since 2004 in conjunction with its subsidiary Lenzing Instruments in Austria, has developed into one of the leading international suppliers of textile measuring and testing technology for the man-made fiber, cotton and composites industry.

Even today, 70 years after its founding by Mr. Herbert Stein, the Textechno Group is a pure family business without external investors.
