When skateboarders test our high-quality floor coating in parking garages, our model expertly paints a facade or a family moves into their newly renovated city villa — all of these scenes show what drives us: the love of building.🛹🏠 The production was not without hitches, as the making-of film reveals. Skateboarders remained unscathed after falls, our model braved the cold and the child actors made the most of every break to have fun — and we are proud to say that everyone in their own way achieved something outstanding. Thank you for your untiring efforts. Occasional bumps in the road aside, our film conveys a clear message: sustainability is key for building the future, so that upcoming generations can benefit from the decisions we make today. Every scene in our image film radiates this firm belief.🎬 Do you already know our image film? You can find it here: https://lnkd.in/eSj4Xsbp For the love of building. Building with conscience. #StoGlobal #BuildingWithConscience #ImageFilm #MakingOf

Julia Klöckner visits our headquarter. To gain an impression of developments in the construction industry and the current challenges, the CDU federal treasurer Julia Klöckner visited us at our headquarters in Baden-Württemberg. In conversation with Sto CEO Rainer Huettenberger, his deputy Michael Keller and Head of Sales Germany Heiner Röhr, the CDU politician said: "Sto is a prime example of the German SME sector, which is an important pillar of our economy. The innovative strength and job security provided by such companies must not be lost. The CDU therefore sees an urgent need for action to support the German construction industry through sustainable and reliable policies and appropriate framework conditions." During a tour of the Sto product exhibition, the Sto board members presented product innovations and, in particular, the range of different insulation materials for facades. The Sto board members were very clear about the current subsidy measures of the German government. "Private households and investors urgently need planning security for the renovation and new construction of buildings, which unfortunately has not been given in the current legislative period. This uncertainty has meant that urgently needed new construction projects have not been realised or have even been halted, which has further contributed to the housing shortage in Germany," emphasised Deputy CEO Michael Keller. Felix Schreiner, Member of the German Bundestag, Sabine Hartmann-Müller, Member of the State Parliament of Baden-Württemberg, Christoph M. Stolz, Head of Public Affairs at Sto, and Anne Ruhrmann, Head of Global Public Relations at Sto, also took part in the visit. In their final conclusion, both the politicians and the company representatives agreed, that it is important for both sides to remain in constant dialogue in order to master the political and economic challenges together. After all, both sides had the same goal of helping the German construction industry to gain new momentum. #politics #german #economy #Sto #BuildingWithConscience #StoGlobal

The survey, in which over 500 companies took part shows, that the biggest secret to success of the best trainers lies in adapting their training programmes to the needs of applicants and to social developments. Important aspects of the vocational training programme for trainees are: dealing with new technologies, social justice and intercultural knowledge, according to the survey.  If you are also looking for a vocational training or a place to study, just follow the link and see what Sto has to offer: https://lnkd.in/gGgbr8zn #StoGlobal #BuildingWithConscience #VocationalTraining #CareerStart #StoFamily 

How can an existing building, which is partially contaminated, be transformed into an impressive and sustainable new building? With an ambitious vision and a return to the essentials. This is how the architectural firm NOARQ created a new town hall in the Portuguese city of Trofa that is both contemporary and timeless. ⌛ Get the 21-page case study here and let yourself be inspired by their passion: https://lnkd.in/eA-UQ27d Client: Trofa City Council, Trofa, PT Architect: NOARQ, Trofa, PT Photography: Attilio Fiumarella, Porto, PT Duccio Malagamba, Barcelona, ES NOARQ, Trofa/Porto, PT Telhabel Construções SA, Vila Nova de Famalicão, PT #StoGlobal #BuildingWithConscience #Architecture #Portugal #Trofa

Facade renovation: precise and customized Sto's Project Service was a big topic at our European trade fairs this year. As part of the European Green Deal, the energy-efficient refurbishment of existing buildings is becoming increasingly important. 🌍💚 The digitalization of existing buildings is a key aspect of this in order to be able to develop solid renovation concepts quickly and efficiently. This is exactly what we do as part of the Sto Project Service: we digitize buildings - with the highest level of dimensional accuracy. This gives you a reliable basis for planning. How does it work? 1. Digital as-built survey: scan of the existing facade with a mobile LiDAR scanner. The results of the on-site scan are merged into a point cloud, on the basis of which 2D facade views and 3D models are created. 📏 2. Area and quantity determination: all relevant components such as doors, windows, balconies, recesses etc. are defined step by step. This means that all relevant areas and quantities of the existing facade are calculated automatically.🏢🏠 3. Visualization: StoDesign develops colour and material concepts based on the data from the scan. 🎨 If you would like to get to know more about this service, our colleagues from Sto Switzerland, Sto France, Sto Ibérica, Sto Deutschland, Sto Italia Srl and Sto Ges.m.b.H. will be happy to assist you. #StoGlobal #BuildingWithConscience #Digitalization #Refurbishment #StoProjectService

Ground-breaking ceremony in Mexico. Sto Corp. has laid the foundation stone for a new production facility in Mexico. The plant is being built in north-east Mexico near the megacity of Monterrey and is scheduled for completion in June 2025. 🌎 An important ground-breaking ceremony for Sto, explain Rainer Huettenberger and Jose Berlingeri. The plant will provide around 25 new jobs. An industrial building with many Sto surfaces and coatings will be built on the 10,000 square metre site. Particular attention will be paid to environmentally friendly elements, such as a rainwater collection system to reduce the need for imported water. 🌱 #StoGlobal #StoCorp #BuildingWithConscience #Sustainability

At the Climate Festival in Berlin last week, Eike Messow, Head of Sustainability, gave an exciting "Project Inside" during his talk on the topic: "The dismantling of ETICS materials and their reuse in the cement industry as a contribution to recycling and will be talking about new approaches for the economic utilisation of ETICS waste in this context". When it comes to the recycling of our products, we are guided by the so-called "waste pyramid". This reveals two interesting things: 1. If ETICS are used for energy-efficient refurbishment, buildings are preserved and waste is avoided: namely in the form of demolition material from old, non-energy-efficient buildings. 2. The reuse of building products is often idealized. In reality, however, we have to recognize that most of what we have used cannot simply be removed and reused elsewhere. That is why the focus is clearly on recycling. 💚🌍 When it comes to recycling, the challenge is to recover the various materials in large quantities and by type, as this is the only way they can be economically processed and turned into new products.  Together with research partners, Sto has succeeded in achieving a breakthrough in the reuse of facade insulation systems. 🚀 EPS-based facade insulation was dismantled from two high-rise buildings in Hanover. The entire insulation system could be recycled in a cement plant, both materially and energetically, by converting the mineral components into cement clinker, while the organic components provided part of the required process heat. This solution is better than "other utilisation" (incineration in a waste-to-energy plant) or "disposal" (landfill) and therefore also corresponds to the idea of the waste pyramid. #StoGlobal #BuildingWithConscience #Sustainability #Recycling #Tradefairs
