Glanzstoff Austria AG: The fibre factory was opened on June 7, 1906 in

1946 to 1955, then merged with the Dutch AKU and ENKA group 
(1956-1983). Subsequently a government-held company until it was taken 
over by Lenzing AG in 1987. In 1994 production was restricted to tyre 
rayon. In the same year take-over by C. Grupp and the CAG Holding GmbH 
and reorganisation as GmbH (limited liability company).
