In 1954, the Anger brothers founded what was later to be known as Poloplast in Linz. In 1955/56, Durit Werke Kern & Co together with Hatschek took over the young enterprise at 50% each, and it was then that the company changed its name to Poloplast. The works were situated in Wegscheid in the south-eastern part of the outskirts of Linz.
