About Startech

Five decades of finishing engineering, built into every machine.

We manufacture automatic cheque book finishing machines for Lawhill Worldwide Limited, so every line we build carries engineering refined over more than 50 years in banking finishing.

Our story

One machine. One job. Done properly.

Lawhill Worldwide Limited has spent more than 50 years engineering machinery that turns printed folios into finished cheque books — refining the process through generations of banking security requirements.

Startech is the partner that builds, sells and supports that machine today. Rather than adapting general-purpose booklet equipment, we manufacture a line designed for one job: turning a folio of security paper into a wire-stitched, tape-bound cheque book, automatically, to the standard banks expect.

That structure means customers get the best of both sides: five decades of finishing engineering, and a dedicated manufacturing and support team focused on getting machines installed, running and maintained anywhere in the world.

What we stand for

Built for customers who can't afford downtime.

01

Engineered for security paper

Cheque stock is controlled and valuable. The machine is designed around handling that material correctly, not generic paper stock.

02

Built to run, not just to demo

Continuous monitoring and clear fault diagnostics keep the line running in daily production, not just on a showroom floor.

03

Sold with support attached

As the manufacturer, we support installation, changeovers between book styles, and spare parts — not just the initial sale.

04

A global customer base

Banks and cheque book providers operate worldwide, and the machine is built to be installed and supported wherever they are.
