Fifty years, told in sixteen chapters.

From a flat in Gabelsbergerstraße to the automated small-parts warehouse — what became of the 1974 founding, year by year.

Commissioning of the automated small-parts warehouse (AKL)

With the new automated small-parts warehouse (AKL), STASTO markedly increases the efficiency of its warehouse management. Staff are relieved of routine work and can concentrate on higher value creation. The result: a markedly lower error rate and fast throughput times in handling small parts – in the best STASTO tradition.

The individual businesses are assessed on the basis of the key business figures of the past four years. After two first places in 2011 and 2012, STASTO took third place among Tyrol's medium-sized companies!

A change of generation at the head of the company opened up the opportunity for a shareholding.

Twofold success at the KatalogBenchmark

This question was answered for the second time as part of the "Großer KatalogBenchmark 2006".STASTO took first place in both "automation technology" and "fasteners and fittings". The "Großer KatalogBenchmark" is an independent competition specifically for technical catalogues in print and online. Using more than 130 criteria, the participating catalogues and shops are professionally analysed, compared within their sector and rated. This assessment gives valuable insight into the catalogue's current position in the market and thus allows it to be improved for the customer.

STASTO Poland is founded

On 26.09.2005 STASTO Automation Sp.z o.o. is founded in Poland. This wholly owned STASTO subsidiary currently employs 7 staff. The Polish market holds attractive potential, which is being realised through professional cultivation. In the long run this brings an important advantage to our existing customers too. A higher overall volume allows STASTO to increase its standing with its manufacturers. A high-grade range with products of the highest quality and project services can thus be guaranteed and developed further.

Tyrolean Brand Award

STASTO won over the jury with exemplary and consistent brand management, in particular internally: "The values are lived within the company – an achievement on which STASTO is to be congratulated!" STASTO's brand policy is essentially marked by the fact that it is the details that are decisive for the success of a brand: the actions of the STASTO Co-Entrepreneurs, the products and the STASTO services shape the company's image day by day.

In 1975 STASTO achieves annual sales of € 0.21 million (ATS 3 million).
