STEICO

STEICO, founded in 1986, has developed from a small timber trading company into a globally leading manufacturer of ecological construction products made from renewable raw materials. With its headquarters in Feldkirchen near Munich, Germany, and additional production and sales locations in Europe, STEICO is now among the 1,000 fastest-growing companies in the world.

STEICO specializes in the development, production, and distribution of wood fiber insulation materials, which accounted for 66.3% of sales in 2020[2].

• Wood Fiber Insulation Materials: Flexible and stable insulation mats and boards, produced using dry and wet processes, used for new construction and renovation of roofs, walls, ceilings, floors, and facades.
• Ridge Beams and Veneered Laminated Timber: Structural elements used in ceiling constructions and other building projects.
• Hardboard and Underlay Boards: Products that provide not only insulation performance but also protection against rain and wind, often used as plaster carrier boards.
• Innovative Products: STEICO also presents innovative solutions such as STEICO timberfloc, the first blown insulation made from wood fiber and cellulose, and STEICO flex, a flexible wood fiber insulation mat with excellent insulation value[1].

STEICO is committed to the ecological and sustainable construction industry. The company believes that ecological insulation and construction are essential for climate protection. STEICO advocates for greater energy efficiency and living health through its products and processes. Employee orientation and innovation have been the pillars of the company's success since its founding.

STEICO has strongly committed to climate protection and resource conservation:

• CO2 Storage: The STEICO products produced in 2021 stored a total of 950,000 tons of CO2. When energetically modernizing an average single-family home, STEICO wood fiber insulation materials store about 10 tons of CO2[1].
• Biomass and Energy Efficiency: STEICO has been able to increase energy generation from biomass by 79% and energy efficiency by 17%. Regular operations in the Polish production plants have been completely switched to biomass[2].
• Sustainability Reports: Since 2018, STEICO has published an annual sustainability report and was awarded as one of the first companies with the Bavarian Resource Efficiency Prize[2].

STEICO is continuously engaged in further education and exchange with industry experts. The STEICO Academy regularly offers training and certification courses to keep professionals up to date with the latest technology. Partnerships with other industry players, such as the proHolzBW network, underline the company's commitment to a sustainable and innovative construction industry[5].

With around 2,000 dedicated employees at seven European locations, STEICO works daily to realize greater energy efficiency and living health in new construction and renovation. As an ecological pioneer in the construction industry, STEICO sets standards for a future-proof and environmentally friendly construction method.
