The history of Internorm starts with its founder, Eduard Klinger Sr., who established a building and construction workshop in [[Linz]], in 1931. In the following years, Eduard Klinger Sr. expanded his company from a one-man operation to a medium-sized metal construction company. In 1963, seeing the potential for pioneering products made from UPVC, he acquired the first license for the construction of UPVC window frames in Austria. <ref name="chronologie">{{cite web|url=http://www.internorm.com/at/unternehmen/chronologie.html|title=Chronologie|date=2015-03-06|work=internorm.com}}</ref>

The company, under the name of "Internorm", started producing plastic windows in 1966. The first production site was in Traun, Upper Austria, the location of the company's headquarters. In 1967, Eduard Klinger Sr. gave each of his three children, Eleonore, Eduard and Helmut a 25% holding in the company. Under the leadership of the second generation, Internorm developed into the market leader for windows and doors in Austria. The rapid growth of the company required a second production site, which Internorm found through the acquision in 1977 of a local window manufacturer in [[Sarleinsbach|Sarleinsbach,]] Upper Austria. A third plant was set up in Lannach, Styria, in 1982. In 1988, the first Internorm timber windows were produced in this plant. Today, the plant specializes in Timber/Aluminium products.

History[edit]

Internorm started when its founder, Eduard Klinger Sr. established a building and construction workshop in Linz, in 1931. In the following years, Eduard Klinger Sr. expanded his company from a one-man operation to a medium-sized metal construction company. In 1963, seeing the potential of pioneering products made from UPVC (unplasticized polyvinyl chloride), he acquired the first license for the construction of UPVC window frames in Austria.[3]

The company, under the name of "Internorm", started producing UPVC windows in 1966. The first production site was in Traun, the location of the company's headquarters. In 1967, Eduard Klinger Sr. gave each of his three children, Eleonore, Eduard and Helmut a 25% holding in the company. Under the leadership of the second generation, Internorm developed into the market leader for windows and doors in Austria. The rapid growth of the company required a second production site, which Internorm found through the acquisition in 1977 of a local window manufacturer in Sarleinsbach. A third plant was set up in Lannach, Styria, in 1982. In 1988, the first Internorm timber windows were produced in this plant. Today, the plant specializes in Timber/Aluminium products.[3][4]

In 1997, the 2nd generation left the operations side of the business and joined the supervisory board, each being replaced by one of their children – Anette Klinger, Christian Klinger and Stephan Kubinger – on the executive board. In 2001, Internorm reached a figure of 10 million products sold.[3]

In 2002, Internorm founded the "International Windows Network (IFN)", a new umbrella company to which Internorm belongs to. Other independent and specialist companies emerged alongside Internorm with the goal of developing synergies for sharing knowledge and innovations. The group has around 2,900 employees, with approximately 1,800 of them working at Internorm.[5]
