About Sto Australia

The past is our link to the future; As the potential of a tree hinges on a seed and good ground, the strength and sustainability of a company relies on the calibre of its management, ability of its staff and economic circumstances for sustained growth.

The Sto Group, an international company with its head office in Weizen, Germany, can trace its origins back to a lime and cement works established in 1835. After acquiring the company in 1936 it was the Stotmeister family’s development of cement free organically bound renders in 1955 and the StoTherm Classic insulation system in the 1960s that has sustained Sto’s success. Today, Sto remains committed to those primary objectives of delivering high-quality products for sustainable, environmentally-friendly construction.
