What Staco does

Staco is a Belgium-headquartered manufacturer of metal construction panels and gratings, operating under the legal entity Staco Holding B.V. Founded in 1989 with 251–500 employees, the company runs two owned production facilities in the Netherlands and serves B2B customers across at least six European countries (Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, France, Poland, Bulgaria). Its product portfolio spans four core manufacturing processes — pressed gratings (Persrooster), welded load-bearing gratings (Gedruklast, including an offshore variant), perforated panels (Geperforeerd), and expanded metal (Strekmetaal Aurora/Chloe/Wittelsbach) — alongside trademarked specialty products (JettyDeck®, ArtDeck®, and the 2025-launched TrafoDeck) targeted at architectural, jetty, and transformer applications.

Staco operates a sales-led, project-based B2B go-to-market model targeting construction, industrial, and architectural buyers (architects, engineers, steel constructors, and procurement professionals). Revenue is generated through one-time, quote-based sales determined by project specifications, with no public pricing and no subscription or recurring contract model visible. The company supports specification decisions with free online engineering calculation tools for strength, stiffness, and air throughput, and distributes through direct expert consultation, an online quote-request system, and a six-language website. It holds ISO 9001, CE, RAL, and DIN certifications, is a member of the ROTO (Rotogroep) distribution network, and has no disclosed external funding, M&A activity, or public-market exposure.
