A festive gala evening with more than 200 invited guests, including a large number of long-standing customers and established partners as well as representatives from politics and business, as the celebratory highlight of STIWA's 50th anniversary.
A festive gala evening with more than 200 invited guests, including a large number of long-standing customers and established partners as well as representatives from politics and business, as the celebratory highlight of STIWA's 50th anniversary
From a one-man company with a start-up capital of 100,000 Austrian shillings to an international company specialising in automation, with more than 2,300 employees on three continents worldwide: over the past 50 years, the STIWA Group has written an impressive success story. Consequently, a large number of people visited STIWA's headquarters in Attnang-Puchheim to offer their congratulations. More than 200 guests – including many regular customers and long-standing partners such as representatives of the companies blum, Greiner or thyssenkrupp Presta – attended last week’s gala evening at the invitation of the Sticht family marking the highlight of the event that was held at the company premises.
In his keynote, company founder Walter Sticht looked back at the early beginnings of the STIWA Group and highlighted the great importance of its long-term customers and partners in driving the development of the organisation. Peter Sticht emphasised that despite major challenges – keywords: energy crisis, Ukraine conflict, supply chains, energy and material prices and an uncertain outlook – the company remains optimistic for the remaining year. Thanks to the successful integration of the company's three major business areas, automation, manufacturing and software, the STIWA Group’s position remains strong. Mr. Sticht expressed his gratitude to the entire team and to all employees who play a key role in the company's success.
Acknowledgement from politics and business
The guest list also included Governor Thomas Stelzer, WKO-OÖ President Doris Hummer and IV President Stefan Pierer. In his speech, the governor emphasised STIWA's innovative strength, and once again underlined the significant importance of large industrial organisations such as STIWA for the successful growth of Upper Austria as a business location. Doris Hummer was impressed by the successful apprenticeship training at STIWA – until today, more than 1,000 young people have been trained as skilled workers in over 40 years.
Employee party and in-house trade show
The celebrations were topped off with a large in-house exhibition at the Attnang-Puchheim location, where STIWA presented the company's entire service portfolio from its automation, manufacturing and software business areas to its many partners, customers and suppliers in the form of lectures and displays. The big employee party which was attended by more than 1,000 employees had already taken place in the summer.
Continuous development
In its anniversary year 2022, the STIWA Group continues to put a lot of effort into driving its further development: STIWA’s software division was merged into an independent company, and a new location was inaugurated in Vienna this year. Moreover, a new production hall for efficient machining is currently being built at the Gampern location. The Group also strives to further expand its international capacities: STIWA is currently looking for a suitable location to build an office and production facility in the USA next year, where the company aims to set up its own chipping division complementing its automation operations.

Developed by manufacturers with decades of hands-on production experience, this adaptable and scalable software delivers transparency, reduces costs, and supports global standardization—all while maintaining high product quality. Built by experts who truly understand your industry challenges, ensuring it adapts to your needs at any stage.
STIWA Shopfloor Software goes beyond traditional MES solutions by working directly at the machine and control level. It can read PLC data in real time without requiring middleware. This deep integration ensures high-quality data acquisition without delays, making it ideal for analysis and optimization.
Advantage: Customers get a detailed and real-time data foundation, enabling precise production control, error analysis, and process improvements.
STIWA doesn't just focus on visualizing production data; it leverages Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning to provide deep insights. The software automatically detects anomalies, bottlenecks, and optimization opportunities, offering actionable recommendations.
Example: AI can predict machine failures, reduce rework defect rates by up to 30%, and adaptively optimize processes.
Advantage: Customers can increase productivity, minimize downtime, and reduce costs through data-driven optimization.
The software is highly flexible and can be integrated into existing production lines (Brown-Field) as well as new, highly connected manufacturing setups (Green-Field). Its modular architecture allows seamless connection to ERP, MES, CAQ, or machine control systems.
Example: Older machines without modern IT interfaces can be integrated via retrofit solutions or IoT adapters, while highly automated systems communicate natively with the software.
Advantage: Companies can digitize step by step without large investments in new machinery while benefiting from modern analysis and optimization tools.
STIWA Shopfloor Software is modular in design, allowing it to adapt to different company sizes and requirements—from single machines to complex, globally connected production networks. Companies can start with selected modules and gradually expand the solution without the need to replace the entire system.
Example: A customer can initially implement real-time monitoring and later add AI-driven optimization or predictive maintenance without requiring a system overhaul.
Advantage: The software grows with business needs, ensuring investment security and keeping companies technologically up to date with continuous advancements.
