It tried without success to create a Polish company specializing in the production of utility vehicles.

These were initially trucks of its own design, then models with a large share of the group MAN components, such as drivers' cabins and engines.

In the same year the factory in Starachowice started making frames and chassis components for the bus plants in Sady and Salzgitter.

Truck production numbers continued to fall, reaching in the final period a few hundred units per year.

In 2004, manufacturing of trucks was moved to a MAN factory in Steyr, Austria (former Steyr-Daimler-Puch AG ).

Starachowice continued to make small numbers of trucks for the army and various services (e.g., foresters).

The plant in Starachowice currently produces frames of buses and bus and truck components for group MAN.

The brand "Star" was used for selling on the Polish market Steyr trucks produced in Austria.
