Austrotherm thermal insulation — from an Austrian pioneer of EPS to three plants in Serbia.
Austrotherm insulation. It leaves nobody cold!
Austrotherm International, based in Austria, is known and recognised as a maker of high-quality XPS and EPS insulation, profiles, polyethylene products and boards for interior construction in Central and Eastern Europe. Its business rests on consistent quality, innovation and well-trained staff.
The company was founded in 1953 by Oswald Nowotny, the first to start making EPS. After it was taken over by Friedrich Schmid and joined the Friedrich Schmid Industrie Holding, it quickly became a leader in insulation materials for the construction industry. Today Austrotherm International operates in 13 countries with a total of 29 production plants and is part of Schmid Industrie Holding (one of the largest building-materials groups in Europe).
In 2001 the Austrian Austrotherm group saw the potential for insulation materials in Serbia and decided to found a Serbian subsidiary, Austrotherm d.o.o., based in Valjevo. The great success of its products on the markets of Serbia and Montenegro (then imported from Austrotherm plants in Austria, Hungary and Romania) led the management to start building a plant in 2003, i.e. to begin making expanded polystyrene in Serbia. The Valjevo plant started work the same year, producing EPS with exactly the same technical processes as Austrotherm's other plants across Europe.
By 2005 Austrotherm d.o.o. had reached a leading position in Serbia, when it took over the former competitors' plants in Niš (expanded and extruded polystyrene) and Srbobran (expanded polystyrene). With three ideally distributed plants for EPS and XPS in Serbia, Austrotherm d.o.o. became the "spearhead" of the group.
In 2006 a representative office opened in Belgrade — the office for marketing and technical support, responsible for marketing and for advising clients, contractors and designers on the correct use and installation of our insulation.
Environmentally sound products, a customer-oriented range and a constant drive for further development are the pillars of the company's long-term success.
